In our latest podcast episode, Marcus Jankie sits down with Stephanie Clarke, Senior Designer at ClarkeHopkinsClarke Architects, to explore the innovative interior design of Barwon Health Mental Health Hub. Specialising in health and commercial design, Stephanie is passionate about using design to improve the health and wellbeing of patients, visitors and staff. Through a collaborative co-designing process, Stephanie and her team implemented balanced, holistic design by drawing on clinicians’ and patient’s expertise. From colour and texture to tiles and curves, every design element was carefully considered. Using biophilic design, even the smallest elements can transform a space for its occupants. Stephanie’s collaborative approach offers an inspiring vision for mental wellness space design. Hear her full insights on our latest episode, available on Spotify.

Max Beck and the Bay Riders are on the road to raise $50,000 for the kids On November 10th, Max Beck 30 years on will once again lead his fellow Bay Riders and walkers and runners in the "Stride or Ride" event, with a target to raise $50,000 for The Portsea Camp. On November 10th, he will once again lead his fellow Bay Riders and walkers and runners in the "Stride or Ride" event, with a target to raise $50,000 for The Portsea Camp. These funds are vital for the camp's infrastructure and wellness programs that support children facing hardships. Max Beck’s journey with the Bay Riders started 30 years ago in Brighton. Beck recalls the early days, “There was a group of mates that used to run around Dendy Park in Brighton, and at some stage, someone said, ‘do you know a good knee doctor because my knees are packing up’, maybe we should consider bike riding,” he reminisces. There were only two of us, but then we built the group from there to around 35 guys. We used to have a Clubman Trophy, an annual dinner, quite a big deal. And then I decided to spend more time down the coast and opened a Sorrento chapter with Rob Pitt one of the local pub owners, and Mark Calvin the chemist, etc. And we built the Sorrento chapter of the Bay Riders." Children need our help now more than ever.

We’re thrilled to announce the completion of Barwon Health Mental Health Hub at 181 Moorabool Street. The Barwon Health team are now proudly occupying the building—creating space for their office staff and for the public to visit. After acquiring the site in 2017, Up Property revitalised the building, turning it into an essential mental health and drug and alcohol services community hub in Geelong’s CBD. The design process was uniquely inclusive, gathering insights from individuals with lived experiences in mental health, ensuring that the space truly meets community needs. This development will serve the community for years to come, reflecting Up’s mission to leave a legacy of positivity and community growth.  Learn More: https://lnkd.in/gBPXrehp #mentalhealth #codesign #communitycare #barwonhealth #propertydevelopment

In our debut podcast, Marcus Jankie discusses how biophilic design is at the core of the new Barwon Health Mental Hub in Geelong’s CBD. Biophilic design is the art of connecting people to the natural world in our built environments. Practised in architecture throughout history, it is proven to reduce stress, improve moods, and enhance creativity and productivity.   Marcus Jankie speaks to the research team at Deakin University, architects at ClarkeHopkinsClarke Architects, Geelong State MP Chris Couzens, and the State Health Minister Mary-Anne Thomas about creating a sense of calmness within the building. This project’s design and colour palette was driven by the valuable insights of people with lived experience in mental health.   A fitting conversation to listen to on R U OK Day and a great reminder to take a moment to check in on yourself and those around you.   Listen Now: https://lnkd.in/gU53pGVc   #ruokday #mentalhealthmatters #biophilicdesign
