Avila Hospital, Ávila, Spain, 2010 designed by EACSN
The original building was built in the 1950’s; it is a low rise pavilion structure located within a large plot in the first area of expansion of the city of Avila. The extension fits in the typology of the existing complex, which is actually very similar to current trends in healthcare architecture. We built two new ward pavilions placed between the existing main circulation gallery and a new internal circulation parallel to the first one, with a new vertical communication nucleus. -- ArchDaily

Annexe, Ballarat, Australia, 2011 designed by Searle & Waldron Architecture
A modulated roof scape and painted timber linings recall roof forms of Ballarat’s 19th century back of house spaces where humble, timber lined, saw-toothed additions stand in contrast to the grand facades of the main streets. A singular augmented horizontal plane running inside to out, the roof defines the space while emphasising framed views across the condensed volume between ceiling and plinth. -- ArchDaily
