Leading Healthcare Design Through An Artistic Perspective
We explore how our Associate Director, Askolds Petersons, translates complex clinical requirements into innovative architectural spaces using his creative vision.
A Foundation in Specialised Health Architecture
At HSPC Health Architects, our capability is driven by the technical knowledge of our leadership team. Our Associate Director, Askolds Petersons, brings an extensive background in specialised healthcare design to our practice. His expertise has been central to the delivery of major clinical developments, including the Maroochy Private Hospital, St Vincent’s Private Hospital and Wakefield Hospital.
He plays an integral role in the concept design and health planning phases at HSPC, driving the development of initial project ideas based on key client parameters. His ability to grasp and navigate the functional relationships between hospital departments is essential in shaping projects that are both operationally efficient and aligned with client goals. Askolds’ deep expertise in health planning, coupled with his thorough understanding of the Australasian Health Facility Guidelines, allows him to take a comprehensive approach to each project.
Translating Models of Care into Spatial Outcomes
A core component of his professional focus is health planning. Healthcare architecture demands a precise understanding of clinical workflows and patient requirements. Askolds excels at interpreting complex models of care and translating them into clear and functional spatial outcomes. His practical method ensures that our designs provide highly efficient environments that actively support medical professionals and streamline daily hospital operations.
Continued Passion for the Arts
His architectural methodology is closely linked to his ongoing passion for the visual arts. Askolds is currently preparing for his personal art exhibition scheduled for this May. This event provides an opportunity to see how his creative interests influence his professional design work.
