Space For Health had the pleasure of designing and building the new operating theatre and consulting clinic for Dr. Kurosh Parsi, the highest eminence in Phlebology in Australia. As trusted advisors, we delivered a leading-edge facility with ultramodern equipment and a welcoming and relaxing environment for the patients of Sydney Skin & Vein Clinic.

We looked after the property sourcing, permits and licensing of the facility, concept, design, documentation, delivery and implementation of services to provide an operating theatre in a commercial building. This was a great challenge, and we’re proud of the results.

I have had the pleasure of working with Space For Health on three medical practice fitout renovations since 1999.Space For Health are a superb architecture firm with an excellent understanding of the needs of medical practice and superb design skills. In addition they are an excellent Project Manager of the building work required. In my experience two out of the three renovations we have performed in our practice have been performed during periods of time in which we have had to continue working throughout this period.

I would be most happy to recommend Space For Health without reservation.

With kind regards, Yours sincerely,

We consider ourselves fortunate at having been referred to the wonderful team at Space for Health.

For a new practice with a tight budget, the Space for Health team designed a modern, clean, highly functional office while never compromising aesthetics or quality. The prompt responses from the Space for Health team were always appreciated, and their design advice invaluable. Many of our patients have commented on our beautiful new reception area, and our neighbouring suites have said we now put them to shame.

We would happily recommend Space for Health to any medical practice looking at a renovation or new build.

I have now worked with Space For Health on two separate projects: one to set up consulting rooms and a 2-theatre day surgery, the other to develop a medical Centre and a 4 theatre hospital.

Late night inspection of a building site? No problem. 7th change to the concept lan? No problem. Dealing with a difficult council? No problem. Deadlines? No problem. The rooms and day surgery were concept designed, certified and fitted out within 4 months. The keys were handed to us 3 days ahead of schedule and the project manager totally restored my faith in the building/Fitout industry. First class, professional and pleasant to deal with.

They charge reasonable rates and I have found that a lot of small extras are not even being invoiced. I have two more projects planned and fully intend to use Space For Health on these as well.

We have been very pleased with the medical suite design-build that Space For Health supervised for us.

The design has been mentioned positively by many of our patients who see doctors on a regular basis. They feel it is a pleasant environment and makes it a lot more relaxing visit than would otherwise be the case.

The radiation shielding which is necessary for the nuclear medicine suite was all integrated into the design so that it is a safe environment for our patients and staff but without altering the design features.

Finding the right space

Space For Health teamed up with Dr. Parsi at the earliest stages of the project. The first challenge came in the search for a site. There were a lot of unique considerations we needed to take into account for Dr. Parsi’s new phlebology practice, and so finding the perfect site was paramount.

We needed a site that would meet the requirements for a day surgery, as well as the necessities for clinics using general anaesthetic. This meant there needed to be unencumbered access from the theatre to the street. Dr. Parsi needed the space for his team to be able to work efficiently, as well as ample room for recovery and waiting rooms.

Due to the nature of the field, many patients of the Sydney Skin & Vein Clinic have limited access, so there was an additional requirement that the new site needed to be close to public transportation. We eventually found the perfect space, formerly home to a number of different tenancies in a commercial building, and we were able to amalgamate these into one state-of-the-art medical facility.

Our unique design

Sydney Skin & Vein Clinic had a very specific brief when it came to the waiting room. It was important to them to move away from the typical white, sterile environment of hospitals. Dr. Parsi preferred interior design that would be more inviting and relaxing for his patients. We implemented some very comfortable seating and utilised natural imagery and softer graphics to create a waiting room that feels more like a welcoming home.

The new phlebology clinic had a lot of specific technical requirements. Much of their equipment was newer technology that had not been used in Australia before, and as such required some careful consideration to create an efficient workflow. The work that went into this included reinforcing part of the building, increasing power output and installing multiple screens at specific points. Our experienced team was able to complete this, providing Sydney Skin & Vein Clinic with an ideal functionality for their complex practice.

A world-class phlebology practice

The process was far from simple, and required a lot of out-of-the-box solutions and creative workarounds. What we delivered to Dr. Parsi and his team is a truly world-class phlebology practice. Not only did we deliver a design with a pleasing look and feel, we created a highly functional workflow to benefit both the staff and patients.
