We’re happy to announce the completion of our latest project: a state-of-the-art. Outpatients Facility. This space, formerly used for medical records and later as a vaccination centre, has been transformed into a calm, comfortable environment for patients, visitors, and staff. Located on the Ground Floor and easily accessed from the main hospital corridor, this new facility includes: – 10 Consult/Exam Rooms – Treatment Room – Phlebotomy Room – Quiet Space – Staff Room – Ancillary support spaces.
Our design prioritises simplicity and clarity, making it easy to navigate while ensuring support spaces are efficiently placed for optimal workflow. We used evidence-based design principles to select calming colours and plant imagery, promoting a sense of wellbeing. Stakeholder engagement was key in shaping the layout, imagery, and colours, focusing on enhancing the patient experience. We balanced colours to aid way-finding and avoid overwhelming patients. A cohesive palette and repeated plant imagery create connectivity and ease of navigation throughout the space.
Entering the facility, visitors are greeted by an open, welcoming atmosphere with a complementary colour scheme, offering reassurance and comfort.
