A spacious, light-filled waiting room accented by wood seating elements and screens provides a comforting start to the patient experience. An arched entry provides a quiet and secure threshold into the patient rooms, and natural daylight follows throughout.

The design brings a softness that is absent from the typical doctors’ visit by using a composition of familiar and soothing materials. Each architectural element—including ceiling heights, passageways, and sightlines—were carefully designed to support the potentially vulnerable patient navigating the space.

The clinic maintains a feeling of openness while providing comfortable, private moments. The transition from the waiting room to the patient rooms is one such moment, in which the patient is greeted with a view of the outdoors before entering a light-filled corridor looking onto the adjacent river landscape.

A generous, light-filled corridor leads to a row of patient rooms, curving towards the private area giving staff and doctors a continuous, circumambulatory path through the clinic. A wood-slatted ceiling conceals building services without limiting the perceived height of the space.

The patient room block is centrally located to prioritize views and natural light for the patient corridor. A translucent window panel at each patient room allows light to filter in during the daytime.

Patient rooms are sized for comfort and characterized by a “pitched-roof” ceiling to resemble the familiar shape of a home.

The workspaces of the staff and doctors are arranged along a circumambulatory path that runs throughout the clinic, providing an unobstructed flow of movement. Meeting rooms and workstations are placed along this pathway with strategic lines of the site to adjacent areas and to the outdoors.

A 115 foot (35 metres) wooden bench wraps the perimeter of the clinic, providing informal meeting points for staff, patients, and doctors, and offering a visual connection to the adjacent riverfront.
