Breaking Ground at Nightingale Specialist Suites, Springfield, QLD
Breaking Ground at Nightingale Specialist Suites, Springfield, QLD
Great to see ground officially broken on Nightingale Specialist Suites, marking the start of delivery for a key new development within the growing Health City Springfield precinct.
Nightingale Specialist Suites brings together master planning, architecture and interior design by MODE as part of the precinct’s first stage of development, structured around a landscaped pedestrian spine opposite Mater Private Hospital Springfield.
The building delivers a contemporary medical environment with basement car parking and a prominent upper-ground entry, defined by a corner lantern and awning that establishes a clear arrival point within the precinct.
Upper levels accommodate GP and medical imaging suites, with four additional levels providing 40 specialist medical tenancies. A compact circulation core and efficient planning approach maximise net lettable area, supporting long-term flexibility and use.
Responding to a six-metre site fall, the design integrates stepped terraces, seating and landscape planting to activate the public interface and strengthen pedestrian connectivity. A sloped basement enables direct access to the upper-ground lobby, while an integrated bus stop supports broader accessibility across the site.
At ground level, an activated lobby with an integrated café creates a welcoming and functional arrival experience for visitors and tenants.
Guided by MODE’s CONNECTED BY DESIGN philosophy, the project integrates architecture, landscape and public realm considerations to support both clinical performance and everyday urban life, setting a benchmark for future stages of the precinct.
Delivered in collaboration with Woollam.
