The demands on New Zealand’s Healthcare system are ever-changing.
Effective flooring and wall surfaces are essential elements of any design project but are especially crucial in Healthcare environments. From supporting indoor air quality to helping to guide people as they find their way, reducing slips and falls, providing adequate contrast for visually impaired patients and people with dementia, and controlling the spread of infectious diseases, the floors, and walls of a Healthcare facility are the foundation of excellent care.

Case Studies
Beyond Radiology, Silverdale
The new Beyond Radiology practice in Silverdale is the third of a nationwide roll-out designed by MA Studio. The interior of their Silverdale practice features our Aspecta Elemental XL LVT timber-look flooring and has set a precedent for style and design, with a warm and inviting environment that moves away from the traditional sterile medical atmosphere.
Wellington Regional Children's Hospital
In 2022, Wellington proudly opened the doors to its new $110 million children's hospital, Te Wao Nui. Designed by Studio Design + Architecture, this state-of-the-art facility brings together a comprehensive range of child health services under one roof, ensuring that young patients and their families have access to holistic care in a warm and welcoming environment.

Healthcare and the Psychology of Colour
Studies show that a well-designed hospital environment can have a profound impact on a patient’s experience, accelerating recovery and promoting wellbeing. It also delivers economic benefits through cost savings that come from improving patient outcomes and reducing their length of stay, boosting staff productivity, and attracting and retaining talent.
Designing Healing Environments
The demands on today’s healthcare facilities are vast. Healthcare facilities are expected to provide excellent patient care while simultaneously reducing operational costs, lowering their environmental footprint and working to humanise healthcare in a highly medicalised environment.
