Wellness and Medical Fitouts
Planning a new medical or wellness clinic or renovating an existing one? Design Yard 32 supports you from design brief and concept development through to health authority approvals and fitout certification. We also assist you and your builder throughout construction, ensuring your project stays aligned with compliance requirements and your design intent.
Your reception and waiting area is your chance to make patients feel special, comfortable, and cared for. We ensure your common areas are calming, beautiful, and welcoming to all, including patients with limited mobility, seniors, children, and people with vision or hearing challenges. We carefully consider lighting, acoustics, colours, finishes, ventilation, and signage to create a space that feels safe and reassuring.
A number of fittings and design elements are required by building regulations to ensure accessibility in public buildings. You can rely on us to assess your project, identify requirements, and incorporate the necessary accessibility elements into your design. We stay up to date with changes in regulations and guidelines and encourage our clients to provide more than the minimum required, ensuring spaces are genuinely inclusive for people with disabilities.
Your medical fitout will include rooms that can be leased to other allied health services, helping transform your clinic into a destination. We don’t treat all rooms the same; instead, we focus on each service, whether it’s doctor consultation rooms, treatment/procedure rooms, pathology rooms, or physiotherapy and psychology suites. You can rest assured each room will be designed specifically for its function while fitting seamlessly into your overall medical centre design.
There will also be specific requirements for toilet facilities in your medical clinic. Depending on your clinic’s size, patient numbers, and whether it is a new build or renovation, you will need to provide a range of facilities, including accessible and ambulant toilets, male and female toilets, and baby change stations. You can rely on our experienced team to determine the correct number of facilities and ensure accessible paths and amenities comply with the NCC and relevant Australian Standards. We also take pride in designing these spaces with practicality and aesthetic flair.
Beauty and Specialist Fitouts
From the entry, reception, and waiting experience to the ideal workflow around your key equipment, we ensure your fitout offers an ergonomic, clean, and welcoming environment that prioritises patient comfort, privacy, operator safety, and easy-to-reach storage.
Specialist fitouts require an understanding of industry-specific requirements and standards, which vary significantly between services. We take a tailored approach to lighting, colour, and materials, ensuring each space meets your operational needs while enhancing your brand.
For example, a laser clinic requires strict adherence to laser safety and OH&S guidelines, which must be reflected in the room layout, finishes, and lighting control. An optometry room will have its own design elements and lighting requirements to support accurate assessments. A massage or beauty therapy room will prioritise calming finishes and acoustic privacy to create a relaxing environment for your clients.
We begin by collecting your design brief, applying our industry knowledge and compliance expertise, and collaborating with our network of specialist consultants to deliver the best fitout for your business. Whether you are establishing a laser clinic, beauty and skin treatment space, optometry practice, or wellness centre, we ensure your fitout not only meets compliance but also elevates the client experience while supporting your workflow.
Pharmacy and Laboratory Fitouts
Having completed multiple pharmacy projects during her career, our principal designer Tanya has infused her knowledge into the Design Yard 32 team. Pharmacy fitouts are heavily regulated by local health and pharmacy authorities, and premises must also comply with Australian construction and local council regulations.
Tanya has successfully managed pharmacy submissions to VPA, PRASA, Queensland Health, and other pharmacy authorities. Pharmacies located within shopping centres often require additional approval from the centre management, including proposed shopfront and signage designs as part of the submission.
Compounding laboratories whether being part of a pharmacy or a separate, manufacturing only, facility will be requiring similar design process, but specific to the compounding product.
We will work with you to develop your ideal pharmacy layout, prepare your pharmacy submission, and manage all required certification drawings. Our experienced construction contractors will price the fitout, while ensuring it aligns with your budget and operational needs.
You can rely on us to support your project through to completion with clear communication and utmost care.
Manufacturing Fitouts
We provide fitout design for a range of pharmaceutical and health-related manufacturing facilities, including sterile manufacturing and compounding labs. Each facility type requires a tailored approach to workflow, zoning, finishes, and environmental controls, with sterile and biologic manufacturing demanding cleanroom design and stringent HVAC and filtration systems.
We collaborate with industry-leading experts in sterile and hazardous manufacturing to align your facility design with TGA GMP requirements and PIC/S guidelines, ensuring your premises support safe, efficient operations while meeting regulatory compliance. Our GMP consultant and validation specialist will help you design the process and the correct workflow through laboratories and pressurised chambers. Together, we ensure your process and fitout are compliant with the construction requirements specific to the manufacturing of pharmaceutical or veterinary medicines.
Whether you are establishing a new facility or upgrading an existing one, for the best results, involve us at the early stage of planning your manufacturing facility.
Retail
At Design Yard 32, we specialise in retail fitout design that brings your brand to life while creating a welcoming, functional environment for your customers and team. We understand your shopfront and interior layout play a critical role in attracting foot traffic and guiding customers seamlessly through your store.
We are passionate about creating inviting designs that stand out and pull customers in. Our designers will craft your store layout to ensure your window and wall displays showcase your products from the best angles. Your store can be designed to feel unique or on-trend, supporting your brand and aligning with your marketing campaigns. Want a space that works for your brand? Let’s design it right, from the ground up.
We design retail spaces that balance visual appeal with practical flow, ensuring clear sightlines, intuitive pathways, and well-considered zones for browsing, consultation, and point-of-sale. From boutique stores and pharmacies to wellness retail and shopping centre tenancies, we tailor your design to reflect your brand identity while aligning with council, centre management, and building code requirements.
Our team will work with you to optimise lighting, acoustics, signage, window displays, and joinery, creating a cohesive retail experience that encourages customer engagement and supports your marketing campaigns. We collaborate with trusted signage and custom furniture specialists to deliver a polished, consistent result.
Whether you are launching a new store, renovating your current space, or refreshing your shopfront to capture more foot traffic, Design Yard 32 will guide your project from concept through approvals to fitout completion - ensuring your retail space not only looks great, but also works hard for your business.
Shopfront
Your shopfront is often a decision making point, where passing customers make a quick decision whether they want to come in. Signage and carefully selected graphics are the biggest players on your facade.
Engage us for your shopfront remake design, which transforms your store experience from just being seen to unforgettable. At Design Yard 32 we collaborate with trusted signage consultants to guide your choices - from materials to theatrical lighting, all designed to pull customers in.
We are responsible and experienced professionals who ensure the shopfront modifications align with your local council regulations. You can rely on us to lodge town planning submissions and communicate with your local authorities, should a council approval be required. Often facade alterations, or overhead signage will require a building permit. You can rely on us to manage your approvals, or, to avoid them all together.
