Project: North Avon Medical Centre
Status: Complete
Typology: Health
Contractor: Armitage Williams Construction    
Photography: Grant Davis


This project initially began as a renovation with the goal of uniting the existing North Avon Medical Centre with a neighboring Victorian villa. Following a series of design iterations and cost estimates, the prospect of constructing a completely new purpose-built medical centre emerged as a realistic option. This possibility could only be achieved with an extremely conservative budget and required creative cost-saving solutions, including the re-use of furniture and appliances from the existing medical centre and a series of strategic design decisions. The new medical centre and pharmacy occupy two simple gable forms connected by a highly transparent linkway which accommodates a bright entrance, reception and waiting area. Clad in cost-efficient materials, the design relies on an endearing building form at an approachable scale to create an understated street appeal without breaking the bank.

About the
Professional

To us, architecture is not about the buildings we design. It’s about the people who inhabit the spaces within and around them. With that in mind, we’re not only accountable to our clients, but also to every person who sets foot inside one of our buildings. It’s a big responsibility which we take very seriously. 


IKON is passionate about creating great spaces for working, learning, living and care. We pride ourselves on our meticulous approach which ensures not only the best outcome for each project but also the best process along the way.


Since founding in 1976, we’ve built a rich portfolio of projects across commercial, community, health, multi-use sporting and leisure. Our longevity is a testament to our client and a results-focused team that work towards the same goal: producing the best outcomes for you, your building and those who will use it.

At ArchiPro we recognise and acknowledge the existing, original and ancient connection Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have to the lands and waterways across the Australian continent. We pay our respects to the elders past and present. We commit to working together to build a prosperous and inclusive Australia.
