Healthcare facilities are “cities” within cities with both a diversity and complexity of patients and visitors, staff and logistics.

STH are passionate, knowledgeable and energetic and collaborate with each client to provide a building that exceeds their expectations and is not only architecturally striking, but works functionally to provide the framework for healthcare professionals to deliver their model of care. STH use a variety of mediums to design and document, and with the integration of BIM, 3D Visualisation, room data sheet and asset management provide a long term, structured documentation system to our clients. This provides certainty for clients to cost, build, operate and maintain their facilities.
