Award Winning Office Design
designed by April Mcdonald
This medical retina clinic found its new home in a 1970s shell, transformed through a full tenant improvement to support a modern standard of care. The goal was to create a non-typical experience—one that supports both patients and staff through thoughtful, intuitive design.
Careful planning shaped every aspect of the space, from layout and adjacencies to acoustics and lighting. The design enhances the patient journey and reduces staff fatigue by improving flow, minimizing footsteps, and positioning physicians to face patients’ right side during exams.
Designing Calm: An Intuitive Approach to Medical Design
Wide corridors increase accessibility, and open workstations support targeted collaboration. Front and back-of-house visibility allows for streamlined oversight from central staff areas without compromising sound control or privacy.
One of the biggest challenges was the extremely low structure height. Strategic ceiling treatments and carefully routed HVAC ducting allowed for increased height in key areas like the waiting room and hallways, creating a greater sense of openness.
To improve navigation, large, bold, and high-contrast wayfinding signage was introduced—ensuring clear movement even for patients post-dilation. A Phase 2 expansion was also designed in advance, allowing the clinic to remain operational during future construction while maintaining code compliance and internal flow.
Natural textures, warm colors, and organic shapes were used throughout to avoid the starkness of a traditional clinic. The result is a calm, welcoming environment that reflects a brand rooted in compassion-centered care and human-focused design, which instills patients with a sense of certainty from arrival to exit.
