Client Brief
The client’s core requirements focused on four main elements:

-Six modern treatment and consultation rooms

-Substantial office and staff facilities to ensure an attractive and efficient working environment
Architectural Approach
Our design reconciles the strict functional needs of a medical facility with the qualitative goal of enhancing the patient experience. At the heart of the layout is a large, central patient waiting area, providing easy and intuitive access to all departments. Upon arrival, patients enter a bright, south-facing reception space, before moving into a spacious, relaxing waiting area designed to reduce anxiety and promote comfort before treatment.
The internal arrangement was carefully planned to comply with clinical standards while ensuring a fluid, welcoming flow throughout the centre.
