“A designer has a duty to create timeless designs. To be timeless you have to think really far into the future, not next year, not in two years but in 20 years minimum.” – Phillip Starck

Over the years, medical interior design has been rapidly growing and adapting not just to recent trends but also to sustainability. With the rise of sustainable luxury in designing medical spaces, understanding its proposition is more important now than ever.

Let’s give you a glimpse of how Simour Design is at the forefront of bringing sustainable luxury to medical spaces. We will tackle some practical tips that can help you understand how to create intentional spaces that can drive revenue to your business!

Prioritize Sustainable, High-Quality Materials

Healthcare equals investment. Not just in the general sense, but most especially in your medical practice. If you want a medical space that can sustain growth, you must decide head-on that the materials you will use when building and designing your space are of the utmost quality. This is non-negotiable when we design medical spaces because, in the long run, it saves our clients money and time. You don’t want to keep upgrading and rebuilding, right? It’s good for the environment too!

You can use eco-friendly, recycled, or sustainably sourced materials. More importantly, choosing durable materials for the heavy use of a commercial medical facility is a must! Sustainable durable materials are easily cleanable and can withstand medical solvents and chemicals.

Design for Energy Efficiency

Another way you can incorporate sustainability is by using high-class LED lighting and smart automated systems. Not only can these minimize environmental impact, but they can also significantly reduce operational costs.

One more energy-saving tip is to maximize ample natural lighting. Research shows many benefits of using natural lighting in healthcare design. These include reducing stress, speeding up healing, and boosting mood and overall health for both patients and staff.

Create Calming, Healing Environments with Innovative and Intentional Design
One of the things that makes our designs at Simour unique, is that we fully understand what top-notch patient-centric spaces entail. The ambiance of your medical practice plays a significant role in creating a calm and healing environment for your patients. From using soothing colors to choosing comfortable seating, to correctly designing private spaces for consultation–these approaches to medical spaces should be focused on elevating your patient’s experience.

An example of how you can elevate your patient’s experience is by integrating innovative designs such as curated lounges. Not only can it provide a comfortable waiting area, but it also helps elevate the check-in and check-out time of your patients.

Designing a calming and healing environment allows your patients to connect to your space more than just a medical facility but a comfortable place where they feel welcome and at ease. Thus, building patient loyalty and trust which drives business growth.

Intentional Usage of Space for Functionality and Flow

The integration of optimal efficiency is central to designing sustainable luxury medical spaces. One example is intentionally designing multi-use spaces. Think about a consultation room in the morning that can be turned into a small-scale training room in the afternoon.

At Simour, we customly curate your floor plan to maximize the usage of every square footage you have. We ensure that your layout supports efficient patient and staff movement, improving workflow and patient care–getting the most out of your available spaces.

Design Around Your Brand Values

When we talk about sustainable luxury, the premise lies around values. Ask yourself, ‘What is your brand identity and values?’ Then design around these key elements. When you do, you attract the right clientele who share the same values. This way, you are not just building a database of clients, but strong relationships and a community.

Luxury is not just about aesthetically pleasing spaces. It’s also about creating functional, well-organized spaces that streamline operations.

In an era where environmental consciousness is highly favored, embracing sustainable luxury designs for business growth is not only strategic but more importantly, ethical.
