Health and Medical Research Building / Architectus

The Flinders University Health and Medical Research Building (HMRB) is designed as an extension of its landscape, drawing inspiration from the ochre outcrops of the Adelaide Hills. Positioned along the pedestrian route from the rail terminus to the university, the architecture emerges organically from the terrain, mirroring the geological layers of Rainbow Country. The sloping site's 14-metre fall informed the design, creating a structure that feels embedded in the land's history and contours.
