The Health Lodge Integrative Medical Centre
Pacific Built undertook the construction of a brand new nine-room accommodation facility for the Health Lodge, designed to seamlessly integrate with the existing integrative medical practice.
The vision for this project focused entirely on the concept of wellness, creating a space where clients of the Health Lodge can extend their health care journey with an inpatient stay.
Conference Space
The project included the addition of a custom designed conference area, for corporate retreat events, gatherings and nutrition demonstrations.
Featured Products
Each room was thoughtfully planned to provide comfort and functionality while promoting a healthy lifestyle.
Features include:
Extensive air and water purification systems
Low VOC paint, insulation and other non-toxic building materials
Blue-light blocking globes throughout
Custom, onsite dressed harwood timber for bedheads and joinery in each room, avoiding the use of particleboard or melamine.
“Incorporating biophilic design elements, the accommodation embraces native planting, encouraging guests to connect with nature during their stay. The communal kitchen and conference facilities as well as renewed landscaping have created both areas to gather and spaces for reflection.”
Accessibility
The complexity of this project, being rated as a Class 3 ‘Boarding House’ accommodation building with BAL 29 bushfire rating, the project required stringent compliance with accessibility and safety legislations. This included detailed assessment of the proposed building, ensuring that all entrances and exits met the necessary standards. The design incorporated features such as ramps, wide doorways, and appropriately designed bathrooms.
Bushfire and fire spread prevention measures were paramount throughout the construction process. This involved the installation of smoke alarms and alert system, fire rated doors, emergency exits, and clear signage to guide occupants in the event of an emergency.
“The project came with its share of complexities ; however, Sam and his team always came to the table with a practical solution to every challenge. Sam and his team were always polite, flexible, and responsive. Nothing was too much trouble and their attention to detail was impeccable. We would highly recommend Sam and the team at Pacific Built.”
