In this project, for a healthcare environment, closing for two weeks wasn't an option, so the construction plan had to work differently.
THE BRIEF
Our client approached us with a simple but important concern: their reception and waiting area was no longer working for their staff or their clients.
We looked at the existing experience and the observations helped identify where the existing layout was working and where it wasn't.
THE CONSTRUCTION
Once the works were underway, demolition was carried out. New walls and joinery were coordinated. Electrical, plumbing, mechanical and fire services were adjusted where required. Flooring was removed and reinstated, and existing walls and ceilings were made good.
THE TEMPORARY SETUP
Keeping the business operational meant creating a temporary reception before the existing one could be removed.
Temporary walls were framed and plastered, temporary doors were installed, and temporary reception desks were provided so the business could continue seeing patients.
THE NEW RECEPTION
We were able to improve the flow of the space by using a curved form that allowed us to create a more natural transition through the space.
It's created a softer transition between the entry and the working area. It's a subtle change, but one that can make an arrival feel much more intuitive.
