Strong colours, enormous free-standing mirrors and minimalist furnishings capture immediate attention from the street through floor to ceiling windows. A single white panel provides the backdrop for the more traditional spectacle display.

Despite the tight budget, the practice has been designed with sustainability in mind. The rear feature timber wall was built using pre laminated timber flooring and the shop front glazing maximised to allow the space to be flooded with natural light, reducing the overall lighting load. Additionally, lighting from the client’s previous practice was refurbished and reused.
Speaking of the fit-out, John Fitzgerald said, “All of our patients have really been wowed and amazed… most talk about the sense of space and light out the front and they comment on how welcome they feel”.
