New Town Medical Suite

Hobart, Tasmania 2022

A peaceful psychologists' office within a heritage-listed building.

Behind a heritage streetscape, we designed an office fitout to reflect the ways that a psychologist works: refined but informal, honest, and open to all. In this busy Hobart suburb, it’s an oasis of calm. Skylights and windows create a softly-lit space with no dark corners. Timber panelling, muted greens, and plenty of plants evoke a natural sense of wellbeing. This soothing space is completely new to this heritage context, yet somehow looks like it belongs.

A calm and comfortable commercial office fit-out.

Filling the consulting rooms with natural light was a priority. This is always more challenging in an existing building, especially one that’s heritage-listed. We made use of skylights and highlight windows to create a bright, airy space, with extra lighting where needed to avoid dark corners.

A staircase area featuring light timber wall paneling and a matching wood-slat door. A built-in planter box follows the slope of the stairs, filled with lush green plants alongside a sleek black handrail.

Quiet, but not silent.

Our design has made the space quiet, but not silent. Soft materials like full-length curtains and carpets muffle conversations without erasing the comfort of background noise. With a muted colour palette and soft curved edges, it’s a space that feels welcoming for clients. And a place where psychologists would want to come to work.

A storefront at dusk with a gold-metallic awning reflecting the dim sky. The windows are decorated with large fern illustrations and illuminated from within by warm globe pendants, while the blurred motion of passing cars creates a moody, urban atmosphere. Modern hallway featuring exposed red brick walls and light timber flooring. A floor-to-ceiling wooden cabinet sits at the end of the corridor, topped with lush green plants and illuminated by a single white globe pendant.
A minimalist sage green wall featuring a floating timber shelf and matching wood cabinetry. The space is decorated with a vibrant, abstract framed artwork and two colourful floral arrangements, creating a clean yet artistic home or office vignette.

The scene is set against a sage green wall, illuminated by hanging white globe pendants and two circular, glowing wall sconces.
