The design for Woodham Road Medical Centre gives healthcare a friendly face, incorporating a 540m² medical centre and 180m² pharmacy into an approachable and attractive package. Requiring significant client and user consultation, this project was delivered on time and within budget. The residential location demanded a sensitive and contextually cohesive design. The careful use of warm materials and employment of a domestic architectural essence has effortlessly blended the building into its suburban surroundings. Light traps by day and lanterns by night, a pair of clerestory dormers add interest to an otherwise simple roof. The dormers welcome sun and volume into the bright and airy interior, creating a relaxing environment for patients and a pleasant workplace for staff. This project has become the subtle star of the leafy Woodham Road and the touchpoint for the local community's medical and pharmaceutical needs.

About the
Professional

To us, architecture is not about the buildings we design. It’s about the people who inhabit the spaces within and around them. With that in mind, we’re not only accountable to our clients, but also to every person who sets foot inside one of our buildings. It’s a big responsibility which we take very seriously. 


IKON is passionate about creating great spaces for working, learning, living and care. We pride ourselves on our meticulous approach which ensures not only the best outcome for each project but also the best process along the way.


Since founding in 1976, we’ve built a rich portfolio of projects across commercial, community, health, multi-use sporting and leisure. Our longevity is a testament to our client and a results-focused team that work towards the same goal: producing the best outcomes for you, your building and those who will use it.
