The Project

Casey Carpark was conceived as a future-focused infrastructure project, accommodating 750 vehicles while preserving space for the hospital’s Emergency Department expansion. The design responds to its context by drawing on the architectural language of the existing hospital entrance by Studio STH (2020), ensuring a cohesive and respectful addition to the precinct.

The form evolved into a fluid composition that begins to read as a lantern within the urban fabric – subtle yet identifiable, particularly at night. A key architectural move is a continuous feature strip that follows the natural ground level while remaining elevated across the façade. This element both anchors the building to its landscape and visually divides the massing, reducing its perceived scale and introducing a strong horizontal datum.

Through the interplay of light, form and proportion, the project elevates the typical carpark typology into a considered civic gesture, balancing functionality with a refined architectural presence within the hospital precinct.
