For these consulting rooms for a bariatric surgeon, the creation of a calm supportive environment was the starting point. Within this methodology, the client wanted to bring a soft and casual feeling to the space to differentiate it from your average medical suite and link with the business’ graphic branding approach. The result is a set of spaces that feel playful and welcoming while having an overarching sense of privacy, warmth and safety.
Comprised of a centrally located reception point, with consulting rooms around the perimeter, the private welcome area is approachable and egalitarian. Sculptural, soft and sturdy seating, as well as a custom cast concrete desk, make a statement upon entry while providing visual depth and tactility.
A warm material palette, including soft timber, cork, textural fabrics and greenery, is balanced by an exposed concrete ceiling while a graphic gridded cream tile, with dusty pink grout, subtly references traditional medical spaces. Confident use of colour can be seen on the consulting room doors that playfully come through the project’s neutral base palette.
Overall, clever planning and design choices create a welcoming, unique and highly functional interior that captures the essence of the business.
