G8 Medical Center
Location: Fitzroy, Victoria
Type: Commercial
Purpose: Design Studio Project (Advanced Diploma)
G8 Medical Center is a project that is located in the Fitzroy. The existing site is challenging because the medical centre has to be built on top of an existing supermarket car park. another extended all the level car park is also being added as a response to the brief to replace the footprint being use for the new building. The design of the building is abstracted from an old Italian hospital landmark “Ospidale Degli Innocenti” where the façade appeared to be symmetrical with its placement of columns. The main entrance from the building is facing the east where it has direct access to the car park area for convenience reasons. On the west elevation, the wall off the clinic is attached to the existing brick wall to unify the old and new structure.
