The art and science of creating a functional, safe, and aesthetically pleasing indoor environment is important for all offices and clinics where clinicians serve clients and patents. But there is nary a more important setting for interior design investment than in the field of plastic surgery. Consider all that’s involved in the field. Yes, there is the area that the general public associates with the practice, which is cosmetic in nature to enhance a client’s surface aesthetic. But there is also reconstructive surgery, which repairs defects caused by birth disorders, trauma, or illness. In either case, the surgical specialty focuses on restoring, reconstructing, or altering the human body to correct deformities, improve function, and enhance appearance. It’s no crude analogy to draw a likeness between the professions of plastic surgery and interior design.
But we digress. You’re here to find insight into plastic surgery office interior design and to find a firm that will provide as much attention and care to your clinic as your clinic does to its patients and clients.

What to Consider for Plastic Surgery Office / Clinic Interior Design in Vancouver BC
BENEFITS OF PLASTIC SURGERY CLINIC INTERIOR DESIGN INVESTMENT
In case you are on the fence about investment in professional interior design for your clinic, be sure to note the following benefits:
Reduced client + patient anxiety: An enhanced clinic interior, with calming colors in particular, can help alleviate client and patient related anxiety, making them more relaxed while waiting, during consultations, and during procedures (before undergoing anesthesia). Generally, a palette of soft blues, greens, and neutral tones like beige and light gray create a calming atmosphere in a clinic interior, but accommodations can be made and a balance-struck to account for your brand. Additional interior design upgrades that have a positive physiological impact on patients/clients include expansion of natural lighting, acoustic adjustments in consultation and procedure rooms (for privacy, etc.), and improved natural ventilation and air circulation with strategic window placement and exhaust fans. Additional elements include biophilic design elements, such as flora that thrives indoors.
Trust reinforcement: An enhanced clinic interior conveys attention to detail and a commitment to quality, enhancing the practice’s professional image and promoting feelings of trust within patients and clients.
Enhanced hygiene: Antimicrobial materials (paints, textiles, and other surfaces) with low Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) contribute to a cleaner, healthier environment, supporting hygiene standards set forth by the College of Physicians and Surgeons of BC (CPSBC) and any other regulatory bodies your clinic may be beholden to.
Increased staff morale: A well-maintained and aesthetically pleasing clinc is known to boost staff morale, productivity, and reduce human resource turnaround.
Improved clinic function and workflow: The provision more thoughtfully designed clinch spaces can make it easier for staff to navigate and maintain offices which optimizes workflow.
Reduced maintenance: Durable finishings incarnated into interior design reduce long-term maintenance costs and keeps the clinic looking sharp for longer.
Increased clinic value: Maintaining a premium clinic interior can increase its overall value, making it a more appealing asset to prospective stakeholders should you desire to sell or bring in a partner practitioner in the near future.
WHY CHOOSE AN INTERIOR ARCHITECT (NOT JUST AN INTERIOR DESIGNER)
To optimize clinic environment function along with visual and auditory experiences, you must rely not just on interior design concepts, but interior architecture. Interior architecture factor into consideration when structural adjustments to the existing space are required. A general interior designer cannot accommodate this need, whereas an interior architect is qualified to take on interior project management for a plastic surgery office. In Vancouver, Calvert Design is that studio. Our team is comprised of leading interior architects who have relationships with subcontractors who will (under our direction) make structural adjustments as needed. This may be required to alter acoustics, delineate waiting areas and workspaces, add windows for natural lighting + airflow, and more.
Calvert Design is more qualified than other Vancouver firms to take on all aspects of plastic surgery office interior design.
