reception & coffee bar

A rounded planter works as a privacy barrier between the entrance and the waiting room. User’s sitting by the entrance feel more protected which will lower stress levels while waiting for an appointment

the nurse’s station

The nurse’s station provides an entrance point into the exam room hallway. Having a centralized workstation allows nurse’s to work efficiently and monitor patients. The hallway leads to the exam rooms and uses bench seating to break the corridor up into two parts. Seating is functional and makes the hallway feel warm and welcoming.

The exam rooms were designed with the intention of creating a space that made patients feel comfortable and welcome. Natural materials and neutral tones were chosen to break up the coldness of the white walls.

The practitioner workroom is a space for doctors to work in between visiting with patients. Individual work stations and plenty of storage allow practitioners to be productive throughout the day.
