UNSW Roundhouse
Redevelopment of the University’s iconic Roundhouse building. Teamed with Tonkin Zulaikha Greer Architects, JHA’s project team was tasked with modernising the building, creating a more flexible and energy-efficient venue, while also upgrading its acoustic properties. The newly refurbished Roundhouse will continue to serve as a venue of choice for concerts, music gigs, conferences, events, seminars and box office events. The building also provides a merchandise and food area, permanent bar and beer garden with a secondary private bar area. JHA’s specialist lighting team worked closely with Tonkin Zulaikha Greer Architects to conceal lighting fixtures wherever possible, allowing the eye to wander over radial geometry with as few interruptions as possible. Careful design of the house lighting on the mezzanine level was critical, as nothing was allowed to distract from the world-class audio visual system in the performance space below. UNSW
BGGS Science Precinct
JHA were involved in the design and documentation for mechanical and electrical (including dry fire, communications, and security) for the 7-storey science teaching laboratory building for the signature Brisbane Girls Grammar School science precinct redevelopment. The project consisted of lower level HPE area, 600-person multipurpose function space, and various general learning spaces for biology, chemistry and science GLAs. The project’s unique design required particular attention to detail for the building services. Mechanical and electrical services were designed specifically to address the limitations placed upon the building and to compliment the characteristic of the building.
Spicers Guesthouse
Spicers Guesthouse is a luxury retreat situated amidst the wineries of the Hunter Valley, with exceptional views of the rolling mountain ranges. JHA’s specialist lighting team partnered with Spicers, Cottee Parker and Turner & Townsend Thinc to deliver illuminated spaces which are sensitive to the surrounds, and which resonate with an elegance synonymous with the Spicers brand. An important aspect of the design strategy was our focus on the ‘arrival experience’ – ensuring that guests are welcomed from the property boundary at the beginning of the driveway, through the carpark and exterior grounds and into the warmth of the interiors, via soft lighting integrated within the landscape. The view of the stars in the Hunter region is phenomenal, so controlling unwanted light spill was an integral principle of the lighting strategy. Inside, the lighting approach evokes a warm and relaxed ambiance to all guest areas; from the restaurant, lounge and bar, the stunning architectural proportions of the wine cellar to the multipurpose function spaces and guestrooms.
Benevolent Living Rockhampton
JHA provided mechanical, electrical, ESD and vertical transport services for the staged delivery of the Benevolent Living seniors living precinct in Rockhampton.

Campbelltown Hospital Redevelopment
The Campbelltown Hospital Redevelopment Stage 2 project involved a mix of new build (GFA in the order of 60,000sqm) and refurbishment works (GFA in the order of 15,000sqm) which will be delivered in a staged manner. The staging of the works was a vital element for the successful delivery of the project. The existing hospital needed to maintain functionality throughout the duration of the Stage 2 works. The fundamental objective of the project was to deliver a major enhancement of the emergency department, additional operating theatres, expansion of the intensive care unit, additional medical and surgical inpatient beds, expansion of the medical imaging capability, expansion of outpatient services, additional renal dialysis facilities, as well as new and expanded mental health facilities and enhancement of paediatric services.
Woodcroft Neighbourhood Centre
Delivered for Blacktown City Council, the new Woodcroft Neighbourhood Centre provides a place for people to gather, whether it be for large recreational sports activities, private functions, meetings or community events. The building was designed by Carter Williamson Architects to be flexible in meeting the local community’s needs. JHA provided thermal energy modelling services for this development, including recommendations for the compliance of the Building Fabric and Glazing requirements with a focus on the performance of the polycarbonate clerestory.
Ultimo Public School
A new school on the existing Ultimo Public School site, this project increased the student capacity from 285 to 800 and proposed a new education model that brings green space and flexible learning into the high density location. Located on a steep slope, the school maximises useable space as all terraces and rooftops double as garden or play spaces, easily connected to indoor teaching spaces. The building forms are designed such that the major glazing are well shaded, allowing for natural diffused daylight whilst minimising unwanted solar heat gains. Large operable windows and doors are provided to all learning areas to increase natural ventilation potential. The building has also been designed to induce the stack effect to further encourage airflows from outside through different areas and levels of the building via pressure differences. JHA carried out in-depth thermal comfort and natural ventilation modelling to inform the iterative development process.
Westmead Hospital Redevelopment
The Westmead Hospital Redevelopment project comprised of a new Central Acute Services Building (CASB), an Innovation Centre, an expansive new Civic Plaza and an underground carpark. Situated at the heart of the precinct between the existing adult and children’s hospitals, the 14-storey CASB will unite existing hospital functions, expand capacity and provide new emergency departments, operating theatres, patient rooms, as well as education, research and training space for the University of Sydney. As the hub of the hospital and new main entry point, the CASB was designed with both capability and comfort in mind. The architecture and lighting design will welcome patients and visitors into a calm and easily-navigable space. Engaged to Multiplex and working for Health Infrastructure under an ECI procurement model, JHA provided engineering design for electrical building services, audio visual, ICT and high voltage reticulation and chamber substations.
