Project Brief
The double-height lobby combines a stone-clad feature wall with warm textured panels and a floating reception desk to signal arrival with clarity and gravitas. Overlooking seating on the mezzanine, sculptural lighting, and soft residential-style furniture sets position the hospital as a community living room rather than a conventional waiting hall.
First impressions of care, comfort, and confidence.
Designed for calm, care, and quiet confidence.
Every step supported, every view supervised.
The inpatient corridor is conceived as a clear, linear spine with continuous handrails, wall protection, and ceiling lighting guiding movement towards rooms and nurse bases. The open nurse station is anchored with a timber clad counter and accent soffit, offering constant visual connection to the corridor while keeping equipment and storage recessed.
The patient rooms all follow a warm language that softens the clinical setting, using beige and cream tones, timber headwalls, and sleek ceiling grids to hide services while keeping equipment accessible. Single and twin rooms are planned as elongated, clutter-free volumes where the bed is anchored to a full-height headwall integrating medical gases, power points, lighting and artwork, so the patient’s primary view is calm and ordered rather than technical. In the general ward, continuous headwalls and ceiling-mounted tracks organise multiple beds into clear care bays, allowing for privacy curtains without blocking nurse visibility. Across all room types, the design intent is to create a sense of quiet, controlled comfort where patients and families feel like guests.
