Let’s face it hospitals are stressful places; and increased levels of stress due to the kind of environment that you’re in, would surely not help you recover any faster. I believe that the transitory space of the reception lobby has to be sensitively dealt with to bring back the sense of control that a person loses when he’s sick. I would like to bring to your attention that this is the first phase of a systematic refurbishment of the Prahran Surgical & Ambulatory Care Center. The patient information area, the central lobby space & the commercial areas. These then house the following functions. The floor space consists of 150 and 200 sq. mts. Thus, bringing the total floor space to roughly about 400 sq. mts.

Editor's Notes
- Good Morning! I would like to begin by stating the design intentions that are driving this refurbishment project. Let’s face it hospitals are stressful places; and increased levels of stress due to the kind of environment that you’re in, would surely not help you recover any faster. I believe that the transitory space of the reception lobby has to be sensitively dealt with to bring back the sense of control that a person loses when he’s sick. I’ll begin by elaborating on the Project Scope; I would like to bring to your attention that this is the first phase of a systematic refurbishment of the Prahran Surgical & Ambulatory Care Center. This phase deals with; (read from the slides)…. The patient information area, the central lobby space & the commercial areas. These then house the following functions.
