The refurbishment of Perth’s Sunset Heritage Precinct – once a men’s hospital – has respectfully addressed the culture of the place with “landscapes of memory” thoughtfully revealed for the benefit of present-day patrons.

The re-purposed site, which had been closed from public access for decades, offers abundant green space for active and passive recreation while nestling comfortably into the surrounding bush and suburban fabric.

The project illustrates restraint, design composition, consideration of existing place qualities and a respectful interpretation of cultural heritage.
