Conrad Gargett (and Architectus) and Wardle developed the Victorian Heart Hospital in Clayton, Australia.

The Victorian Heart Hospital is Australia’s first dedicated heart hospital and the only of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere.

The newly opened hospital, located on Monash University’s Clayton campus in the centre of the Monash Technology Precinct, provides a range of world-class clinical cardiology services, research and education.

The architecture, interiors, facility and clinical planning consider the impact of the built environment on the health and wellness of users and were guided by strong clinical and patient voices.

"This is a valuable place within the university campus and [the] wider community with its capacity to save and change lives," said Conrad Gargett.

This project has been longlisted in the health and wellbeing project category of Dezeen Awards 2023.
