Unpacking a Design & Health Lab Collaboration

Initiate. Collaborate.

Prior to Good Health Design, Steve Reay’s most well-known project is the Design Health and Wellbeing lab (dhwlab.com) at Auckland Hospital (2013-2018). It was New Zealand’s first collaboration between a university design school and a hospital, with a design studio - and won the top prize at the Best Awards, New Zealand’s foremost design awards.

Steve spoke about their design team’s experiences of establishing a hospital design lab and working in healthcare, along with the opportunities that have come from this.
