Award of Merit:

Billard Leece Partnership and Diller Scofidio + Renfro for Susan Wakil Health Building

The Susan Wakil Health Building - a collaboration between Billard Leece Partnership and New York-based interdisciplinary design studio Diller Scofidio + Renfro (DS+R) - is an exemplar of  a successful iterative design process.

Billard Leece considers the impact that good design has on the health and wellbeing of each person who experiences a building or a place.

Addressing wellbeing by designing with nature through human-centric design —drawing in light, views, and ventilation, allowing visual transparency across the facilities, designed for active circulation and socialisation, emphasising stairs over lifts—overall creating a healthy workplace and a place of learning of the future.
