24.01.2022 This year's National Reconciliation Week marks twenty years of shaping Australia’s journey towards a more just, equitable and reconciled nation between the broader Australian community, our First Nations people and Torres Strait Islander peoples. BLP intensely support Reconciliation Australia in championing unity, mutual respect and connection. Pictured: Recently with our Art Strategy group for Campbelltown Hospital Redevelopment, we undertook a bush walk through the Dharawa...l National Park led by Aunty Deidre Martin, a Walbanga woman of the Yuin nation and an Aboriginal Discovery Ranger with the NSW National Parks & Wildlife Service. The prime purpose of this walk was to investigate local indigenous medicinal plants, to be incorporated into the hospital art strategy. #NRW2020 #Australia #Togetherness #Community #InThisTogether2020

19.01.2022 Social connectivity and our mental health will only become more important as time passes. At BLP, we are developing and innovating new ways to help support and learn as a team, to be resilient in uncertain times. We’ll share our experience, experiments and thoughts on these, as we aim to sustain and thrive. Our team is fully operational working remotely maintaining projects and workflow. We are grateful for our immediate capability to do so. (Thank you I.T!) Our Executive tea...m is being guided by government advice, and are monitoring updates every day from WHO (World Health Organisation), the Australian, NSW & Victorian governments, and the Department of Health to stay abreast of the situation, and look after staff and our community. We know our workplace environment will be changed by this. Our team is looking to the future of work with optimism and confidence. Stay connected, stay positive and stay well! Best, The BLP team

12.01.2022 This week is @dementia_australia Action Week. This disease affects close to half a million Australians. That number is set double in the next 25 years. Many Australians will start experiencing the impact of dementia amongst their own family and friends in the coming years. Action Week has been developed to clear up misconceptions that lead to judgements by the community about the capacity of a person living with dementia.Such beliefs can lead to significant discrimination... against people living with dementia. Our challenge as architects is to design dementia specific residences that can suit all residents living with dementia. Given that dementia is a progressive disorder and affects people in different ways, the approach to needs to be varied and flexible so it caters to this broader cohort. Our design strives to put people first, to nurture a safe and secure, balanced, healthy and motivated life that everybody has a right to live.

10.01.2022 Designed from a child's perspective, Perth Children's Hospital makes colourful references to the beautiful wildflowers sweeping through Western Australia over the seasons. Identifying this #pink corridor as path to the #orange room is a #fun, #playful example of finding one's way through the hospital. Fascinating non-straight lines, hidden nooks, and seats that are just the #perfect size for a child, all focused on #healing for #kids. Perth Children's Hospital is shortlisted ...for the for World Architecture Festival (WAF) Best use of Colour Prize 2019. Winners announced this week in Amsterdam. Congratulations to our team, collaborators and partners for creating such a recognisable space using the magic of childhood imagination!

04.01.2022 Let's make the future of work flexible, collaborative and rejuvenating. We were given the exciting opportunity to significantly update the entrance lobby of CLA Real Estate, in North Sydney. Our response was to create a bespoke, expansive and highly flexible internal environment, utilised as a hub for collaboration, networking and relaxation. The new design converts what was once a high-use thoroughfare into a series of stylish and modifiable spaces for meetings, training, solo work, and after hours events. . . #workspace #interiors #interiordesign #commercial #commercialinteriors #workplacedesign #environmentsforwellbeing #wellbeingatwork #Billardleece #BLP #BillardLeecePartnership
