The new offices
for a Windsor surgeon were designed to accommodate extended services in the
treatment rooms as well as a laser surgical clinic. The 1,400 sq. ft. space
was previously a maze of rooms housing a dental clinic. Only the existing
bathroom and shower were kept; and the rest of the space was completely re-organized.
The office design had to provide a comfortable and non-clinical environment
for the doctor's patients, many whom are seriously ill.
The new layout
was organized around a central HC washroom and service station, with the core
walls painted a deep blue. Three new examinations rooms, a laser surgical
room and the doctor's private office were located around the core. Existing
elements from the previous surgeon's office including furnishings were used
in the design. All new furniture was custom-built.
Floating
MDF paneling and a birch plywood reception desk separate the waiting room
from the rest of the offices. The MDF paneling was stained a deep red mahogany
colour as were the MDF panels in the examination rooms. The private office
has a paneled storage wall, again made of stained MDF.
The project
was developed and built in co-operation with the building owner, and the Doctor's
specialized needs and budget. |
