The project is a renovation & extension the existing consulting rooms for Knox Orthopaedic Group, adjacent to Knox hospital. The main entry is via the Knox hospital car park, with the rear entry within a residential street.
Orthopaedics and architecture have a symbiotic relationship. The tools, process and the language of the orthopaedic surgeon is aligned with the ways of the carpenter.
There are also parallels between architectural design and the design of prosthetics and surgical techniques, with 3D modelling and printing a common practice in their R&D processes.

Our architecture and interiors tell the stories of the place on which it resides, and the stories of the people who occupy the place, both past and present. We develop site sensitive, sustainable design responses embedded with the particularities of our client, which maximises the natural amenity of the home to elevate a greater sense of wellbeing and connection to place.
Our design response oscillates between the pragmatic and the poetic, always striving for unique creative responses which are engineered for the local conditions.
FMD Architects is a practice with extensive experience in architecture and interior design of varying scales, types and budgets. The core work of the practice is boutique commercial, hospitality and residential work.
The focus on specific projects enables a high level of client service as well as an intense design process with rigorous detail.
A particularity of the practice is its extensive research into materials and product development, which equips it with a knowledge to develop rich and inventive architecture.
The personal and collective histories of our clients enrich our ideas on every project. Our methodology allows us to research thoroughly the particularity of any design brief without falling back upon generic response.
We add value through an insightful creative process to produce a unique response to each project
