Project overview

Billi’s latest installation was in Murdoch Square, a sprawling 1.2-hectare, $450-million development in Western Australia. It’s a multi-faceted complex, housing the state’s first purpose-built Medihotel, a Courtyard by Marriott hotel, a private hospital, an aged care facility, and a range of commercial and retail spaces. This ambitious project aims to significantly contribute to the government’s vision of transforming the area into a specialised health precinct.

Challenge: Adding functionality and aesthetics in a healthcare project

Designer Darcy Miller from Perfect Practice, which specialises in development projects like this, was tasked with creating a functional interior design within Murdoch Square. The waiting area, a crucial point of contact for patients and visitors, required a solution that could meet the demands of a high-traffic area while maintaining a calm and sophisticated ambiance.

Results and benefits – functions, safety & health

Safe integration: The Alpine 125’s compact design allowed for discreet installation, preserving valuable space and maintaining the clean lines of joinery. The Matte White XL tap and font/riser, with its understated elegance, seamlessly blends with the modern aesthetic of the space.
Hydration station: The system provides instant access to filtered chilled water, catering to the hydration needs of patients, visitors, and staff. The controls and intuitive interface ensured ease of use for all.
Hygiene protection protocol: In a healthcare environment, hygiene is paramount. Billi’s advanced filtration technology ensures the delivery of clean, safe drinking water, while the riser minimises the risk of cross-contamination.
Wheelchair accessible: The Billi font allows for custom installation and easy wheelchair-user access.
Sustainability: Billi’s commitment to sustainability aligns perfectly with the client’s eco-conscious ethos. The energy-efficient design and reduction in single-use plastic bottles contribute to a greener and healthier environment.
Water-cooled technology: Our water-cooled systems utilise heat exchange and energy reclaim technologies that are more energy-efficient than common air-cooled systems.
Improved wellbeing: Staff members and guests have reliable access to refreshing, filtered water throughout the day, promoting hydration and wellbeing.
