Refurbishment of Primary Care Connect’s existing two storey office building to deliver primary and allied health services. The existing building comprised three separate buildings of varying ages which were combined into a single facility with a new first floor extension in 2009.
The original work was poorly planned and unable to cope with changes in service delivery, staff, and client requirements. We are currently undertaking contract administration of the third stage of the redevelopment to refurbish the foyer and staff amenities.
Previous stages provided upgraded office and meeting accommodation, counselling spaces and a new Cardio Rehab Gym with associated ancillary facilities.
The project demonstrates our ability to work within the constraints of existing building fabric and provide successful solutions to renew and revitalize the facility. The project re-imagines the front of house, provides a new identity and solves access and function problems to maximize the service provision within the existing building fabric.
Commenced: 2016 – 2020
Status: Stage 3 Completed Feb 2020
James Seymour Architecture (JSA) was established in response to the need to provide local architectural design and project management services for regional clients.
Our architectural experience and knowledge enhances and benefits the projects we undertake. We understand that our clients decision to commission architectural services is an investment to ensure the success of the project.
We are collaborative and allow all stakeholders to be engaged in each stage of the project process to add value and to achieve goals.
Successful project outcomes result from our ability to engage with our clients, and to understand their needs and project aspirations. This understanding provides the knowledge that will drive the design solution, order and make sense of the spatial configuration and provide consistent and appropriate detailing and material selection. The idea will make sense of the building form and define its place in the street, community and environment.
We believe that the application of professional design to any project, no matter the size, adds value to that project and will significantly benefit the client, users and stakeholders in regard to function, quality and meeting cost control targets.
JSA provide services in all key areas of the building procurement process from design and documentation services, through to contract administration and project management services.
