Atherton Hospital
The Atherton Hospital Redevelopment in Far North Queensland is a state-of-the-art public architecture project designed by Peddle Thorp, and built by FKG Group. The facility’s design, which secured the Australian Institute of Architects QLD Award 2024, features large windows that provide light and airy spaces, and views of the countryside. The atrium, surrounded by colourful tile panels, reflects the hues of the Tablelands, creating a vibrant and welcoming environment. A key feature of the project is the use of DOMINION® walling. This interlocking panel style steel walling, with its raised flat panels and recessed express joints, provides shadowed channels that deliver a clean, modern appearance.
Maitland Hospital
With its visual appeal, low maintenance and ease of installation, the use of steel cladding in public buildings is quickly growing in popularity. The new Maitland Hospital at Metford exemplifies this, using LYSAGHT® steel products under BVN Donovan Hill’s design. The project features ENSEAM® and CUSTOM ORB ACCENT® 35 cladding, with a barcode-like façade design. Finished in COLORBOND® Metallic steel Aries®, COLORBOND® steel Basalt®, and COLORBOND® steel Shale Grey™, the cladding is durable and aesthetically pleasing. The hospital’s striking façade and robust performance showcase the benefits of advanced steel products in modern construction.

Project Snapshot - Maitland Hospital
There’s a growing trend in the design and construction of public buildings to specify steel cladding for the considerable benefits it brings to the structure. Steel’s visual appeal, low maintenance qualities, ease of installation and warranty advantages, all make it an increasingly popular choice. Case in point being the new Maitland Hospital at Metford.
