Tonya Hinde
With a personal aim to ‘humanize’ spaces, big or small, and over 26 years of experience, Tonya Hinde stands out as a collaborative leader in the Australian architectural industry for healthcare design. In a sector notorious for being highly sensitive with multiple stakeholders and weighted with high level technical requirements, Tonya delivers creative and vibrant design outcomes for patients, families, staff and visitors alike. She shares BLP’s deeply held belief that our future is dependent on creating healthy buildings and environments, and that good design is instrumental to healing ¬¬¬¬¬- by getting to the heart of what makes people feel better, sooner.
Her focus in healthcare design was truly established in 2011 through her work on the landmark Royal Children’s Hospital (RCH) in Melbourne. RCH represents a ground-breaking healthcare design opportunity, based on an evidence-based design principle that outside views shorten recovery times – it was ‘uniquely positioned as ‘the hospital in the park’. This powerful combination of expanded research in universal wellbeing, along with inspired design outcomes, has become Tonya’s signature.
In addition to the $955m RCH Melbourne, her healthcare projects include (but are not limited to) the $1.2b Perth Children’s Hospital, the $210m Wagga Wagga Health Services Redevelopment Stage 2, the $65m Albury Wodonga Regional Cancer Centre, the Centre of Excellence in Paediatrics, a $1.3b facility in Hong Kong, and the international award winning Orygen, the National Centre of Excellence in Youth Mental Health.
