Frankston Private Hospital

High Demands

Situated in one of the highest growth areas in Victoria, the Frankston Private Hospital is an amalgamation of Frankston Private Day Surgery and Peninsula Oncology.

The new facility provides healthcare services to over 8,500 patients from the South Eastern, Bayside and Peninsula communities each year. These services include Diagnostics, Pathology, Specialist Consulting, Day Surgery and Day Oncology.

Studio STH were commissioned to design a state-of-the-art, dedicated private acute healthcare facility that can grow with the increasing demand placed on local healthcare services. The project scope included the expansion of 2 theatres, 60 overnight beds and connection to the existing hospital.

The contemporary new building references the diagonal “strips” of the adjacent existing hospital to create a cohesive street presence and a new main entrance to the Hospital. This is done through the design of a glazed curtain wall with diagonal spandrel panels, and a powder coated white shadow box that expresses the prominent corner site.

The interior design reflects the Peninsula coast landscape, with light timbers, white stone, and blue and beige tones applied in the furniture and fittings. A new entry foyer, provides a fresh and inviting central lobby for visitors, patients and staff. Whilst external views have been maximized throughout the Hospital with large picture windows within patient bedrooms and at the end of corridors
