Melbourne, Victoria (PRWEB) September 20, 2014 -- Great News! Guymer Bailey Architects together with Peter Hunt Architect has been selected to design the new Ravenhall Prison Project as a part of the GEO Consortium.

The Architectural Director for the project Kavan Applegate said “We are thrilled! Guymer Bailey has been at the forefront of architecture and landscape design in secure environments throughout our company’s history. We know this project will be the benchmark for prisons in Australia and internationally”

The project will be delivered through a Public Private Partnership (PPP) awarded to the GEO Consortium by Victorian Department of Justice. The project will create the largest prison in Victoria and the largest single stage of a prison project ever in Australia. As the design team leaders, Guymer Bailey Architects and Peter Hunt Architect have developed a unique design for the site in Ravenhall to embody the innovative programme of the GEO Consortium. Design inspiration has been drawn from native flora and fauna as well as indigenous stories, motifs and emblems to inform a spiritual and philosophic core to the design.

Ravenhall Prison will be at the cutting edge of correctional thinking and design, providing Guymer Bailey Architects and Peter Hunt Architect with the opportunity to apply their substantive experience in correctional architecture, design and landscape design on a large canvass. The accommodation for 1,000 medium security prisoners will also include a 75-bed specialist forensic mental health unit and enhance pre- and post- release programs and services to reduce reoffending.

Guymer Bailey Architects has been creating unique, innovative solutions for projects for over 25 years. The practice was founded in Brisbane in 1989, expanded to Melbourne in 2006 and has collaborated with Peter Hunt Architect on large-scale projects continuously for the last 16 years.
