Manaaki By Mercy Hospital banner

Manaaki is a stand‑alone day surgery facility at Mercy Hospital, Dunedin.

The building contains two levels and accommodates two operating theatres, associated CSSD and recovery spaces, as well as consultation rooms and a reception/waiting area on the upper level.

The lower level houses Mercy Cancer Care.

The building is on a residential street adjoining the hospital, so care has been taken to provide a context to the residential streetscape and to the more commercial approach of the Mercy Hospital design.  Particular consideration has been given to existing trees on the site.

A combination of material selection, outdoor spaces, landscaping and indoor outdoor connection provides an environment to aid the patient’s experience.

About the
Professional

For over 60 years, McCoy Wixon Architects have been designing stand-out architecture throughout the South Island of New Zealand. That experience has underlined a fact: that listening and fully understanding the client's needs determines a project's success.

McCoy Wixon Architects are known for designing exceptional residential homes, commercial buildings and educational facilities. We are a design-led practice. That means each project is conceptualised by working through a process, where design solutions address each point in the client’s brief. The result is structures that function beautifully, impact appropriately with their environment and – most importantly – fulfil (often exceed) the client’s expectations.

At ArchiPro we recognise and acknowledge the existing, original and ancient connection Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have to the lands and waterways across the Australian continent. We pay our respects to the elders past and present. We commit to working together to build a prosperous and inclusive Australia.
