Smart layouts and biophilic design are redefining how health precincts function, easing patient anxiety, supporting staff wellbeing, and ensuring spaces flow seamlessly for modern models of care.
Designing for flow and function
Integrated allied health precincts are complex environments, bringing together multiple services under one roof. At Growth Workplace Design, we see the challenge as twofold: to create layouts that work efficiently for practitioners and to design spaces that feel calming and supportive for patients. From arrival to consultation, every touchpoint needs to flow.
Our recent project for GO2 Health exemplifies this approach. Engaged through an Early Contractor Involvement (ECI) model, we worked closely with the client to review sites, test space feasibility, and ultimately deliver a 1,000sqm facility tailored to their vision. The result was a fitout that not only accommodates rapid business growth but also redefines how care is experienced.
A client’s perspective
“Our brief to Growth was simple: create a practice with ‘wow factor’. We wanted a space that was open and welcoming, giving patients a sense of encouragement and optimism from the moment they walked in. The way the space flows — how staff and patients interact — was pivotal. Growth helped us achieve that. What stood out was the innovation they brought to the table. They came to us with ideas, and they gave us a workplace that our staff love coming to every day.”
— Rod Martin, CEO, GO2 Health
The human side of design
“Collaboration is everything. The most successful medical precincts are those where flow and layout are designed hand-in-hand with the client, ensuring every square metre works seamlessly for both patients and staff.”
— Tim Russell, Co-Founder and Director of Strategic Partnerships, Growth Workplace Design
And for Katyana Tkachenko, Creative Lead | Clients & Design, Growth Workplace Design, the starting point is always the patient experience:
“The welcome a patient feels doesn’t begin at the reception desk — it starts the moment they step into the space and are greeted by the environment itself. A well-considered fitout sets the tone, offering comfort, calm, and a sense of trust before a single word is spoken.”
Why thoughtful design matters
Enhanced Patient Experience
Calming environments build trust and support positive outcomes.
Operational Efficiency
Smart layouts improve flow, reduce bottlenecks, and optimise care delivery.
Staff Wellbeing
Comfortable workspaces reduce stress and burnout, attracting and retaining top talent.
Cultural Engagement
Inclusive, adaptable spaces support diverse communities and practices.
In modern healthcare, the space itself becomes part of the care. By moving beyond clinical and embracing biophilic, wellness-led design, Growth Workplace Design helps medical precincts like GO2 Health create environments where patients feel at ease, staff thrive, and practices are set up to succeed for the long term.
