Vedanta University Teaching Hospital is Designed by Perkins+Will, located in Puri, India.
Vedanta University Teaching Hospital is part of a very ambitious plan to develop this rural area into a global center of education and healthcare that would be on par with Harvard, Stanford and Oxford. The 500-bed world-class facility, set to open in 2011, would serve as a regional hub for critical medical specialties such as cardiology and diabetes and focus research on prevalent public health issues in the surrounding area. With the heart of the project geared toward giving back to the community, Perkins+Will architects have carefully incorporated the area's cultural values by working with local materials and artisans to capture India's modern art trends within the building plans.

Additionally, some of the hospital's sustainable features will include daylighting, atriums, storm water management and water conservation through site run-off and an onsite sewage treatment plant, use of local materials, landscaping with local plants and green roof.

Working together with the Anil Agarwal Foundation, Perkins+Will have developed the master plan for the Medical Precinct of a new teaching hospital in the extremely remote section of Puri, Orissa, India.

Two Townhouses, Modern House was designed by Johannsen and Associates, located in Sydney. Each home contains three bedrooms with balconies, a roof terrace with additional living space, atrium, deck and landscaped courtyarf as well as off street parking. These two townhouses replace a derelict warehouse on a leafy street in Sydney's inner west. What appears as a modest infill of the terrace typology, proves to be a series of light and airy contemporary living and sleeping spaces planned around a lap pool.
