Project Brief
Essence Healthcare, a prominent healthcare provider, sought to revitalise an old heritage army building into a cutting-edge medical centre. This ambitious project aimed to merge historical charm with modern functionality while adhering to strict medical standards. As experts in commercial and medical fitouts, our team was tasked with transforming the space into a state-of-the-art facility that met the diverse needs of Essence Healthcare and their patients.
Client Brief
Essence Healthcare's vision was clear: to preserve the historical significance of the army building while optimizing it for medical purposes. They required a seamless integration of old-world charm with contemporary medical amenities. Our interior design services were enlisted to ensure the project's success, which included creating seven consulting rooms with custom cabinetry, privacy screens, and referral desks within a strict seven-week timeline. Additionally, our team was responsible for managing council approvals, adhering to Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) standards, and executing extensive restoration work on plumbing, electrical systems, and roofing.

Our team meticulously planned the layout, ensuring efficient utilisation of space while preserving architectural details. Partition walls were strategically positioned to delineate consulting rooms, maintaining patient privacy while facilitating seamless workflow. Custom cabinetry and privacy screens were designed to meet the unique requirements of each room, optimising functionality and aesthetics.
