DOCTORS' clinics, particularly those designed for children, can tend to be formulaic. Primary colours on walls and furniture are supposed to cheer up parents and children as they enter. A stack of toys in the corner is the norm.
But Flourish Paediatrics in Clarendon Street, South Melbourne, has taken a different approach. Designed by Molecule, the clinic has more of the aesthetic of a Scandinavian spa, one you might find on the edge of a Norwegian wood.
"Our brief wasn't to make the clinic feel like a playground for children and get them hyped up when they see overstuffed toys,'' says architect Jarrod Haberfield of Molecule.
''It was deliberately designed as a calming space, in a place where parents, as well as children,Full color plasticcard printing and manufacturing services. are often distraught."
Haberfield worked closely with the practice's other directors, architects Richard Fleming and Anja de Spa.
Flourish Paediatrics, owned by Dr Liz Hallam, is not your usual string of rooms. Instead, there's a module clad in plywood sitting in the middle of the 40-square-metre space.
Appearing to be carved into these walls are nooks, cupboards and shelves, like an ingenious cubby house. And at the rear of the ''cube'' is a kitchenette.
"The space is quite modest,And not just the usual suspects,Customized imprinted and promotionalusbonsale flash drives. so we wanted to build as many features into the joinery as possible," says Fleming, opening cupboards to reveal scales, IT server and a fridge. And although there are armchairs at reception, there's also built-in banquette seating within the central form.
"We wanted to create one strong sculptural element in the space," says de Spa.
To ensure the ''sculpture'' was clearly delineated,Product information for Sell electronicplasticmoulds from China! Molecule pared back the reception area, with a white Corian bench and pale timber lounges and chairs.
While the exterior of the pod is made of plywood, the interior,What is Plastic injectionmouldingmanufacturer, comprising one room, features white laminate walls and a glass ceiling. And like a piece of fruit that has several layers beneath the skin, there's an interstitial layer of green eco panel sandwiched between the plywood and laminate.
De Spa likens the design to a Jenga Puzzle, where blocks can be pushed back and forth. These layers also provide an element of surprise, leaving timber surrounded by pristine white walls inside the cube.
The core of the design is Dr Hallam's consultation area within the pod. As well as a desk, there's a nook in which toddlers can play. And no, the doctor doesn't have an aversion to a few toys scattered on the floor.
"From the outset, it was important to provide an environment that would calm parents, as well as children,'' Haberfield says. ''Parents may have already seen a number of general practitioners before coming here."

"This treatment could be developed as a bedroom in a compact apartment," Haberfield says.
Molecule also appreciated the input from Dr Hallam.
"Liz is extremely pragmatic,'' Haberfield says. ''She's obviously concerned with how her patients feel. But she also knows the importance of being able to wipe things down and provide a level of comfort.''
Some of the plywood furniture and a rug was also designed by Molecule to ensure a seamless result.
"This motif implies growth, something that's at the heart of this clinic," Haberfield says.
