We consulted medical professionals onsite to collaboratively design this specialist space. Each new procedure room fit-out includes a ceiling mounted biplane (dual axis) angiography unit to assist in conducting complex and invasive neurovascular procedures, alongside anaesthetic and monitoring devices.

The works were located in a high-demand department within a live hospital site and an ageing building, requiring careful planning from the outset. Our team utilised a collaborative approach, with considered planning and communication with medical staff allowing us to guide construction and development without disrupting functionality of the department.

High-tech imaging equipment was required within the procedure rooms, but the brands, spatial requirements and specifications of machinery were yet to be confirmed at the time of design. Therefore, we designed to accommodate diverse possibilities, ensuring the flexibility of the design would not only facilitate machinery selected for this redevelopment, but also any required machinery upgrades in future. Additionally, a control area has been positioned to ensure direct observation of each procedure room. Control areas incorporate a shared set-up area, catalogued storage space (for catheters and guide wires) and a scrub station.
