Week 14: Work

Access around the building
Due to the clinic being for physical therapy, I though it was very important to design a building that allows the patients to be able to move throughout the building, taking different paths and being able to explore throughout.
The image above shows the one of the end on the roof. This space has been provided to allow patiets and doctors the opportunity to exercise or do daily treatments outside. People generally enjoy working outdoors in a park more than they do inside a gym, so giving this space may enthuse the patients more.
This image also shows the roof space, but gives an indication of the paths connectiong to and from around it. The ramp allows people to walk from the roof down into the main physical therapy room while the paths to the left give access to the paths around the roof.
The image above is another space atop the roof and gives another area for patients and doctors to exercise and train on. As there are five patients and they will most likely have different injuries, it is likely that they will be requiring different equipment and doing different exercises. These number of spaces give opportunities for doctor-patient private time and provide wonderful views of the city and surrouding brisbane whilst exercising.
The image above shows the ramp from the roof connecting to the physical therapy room.
This image shows another space on top of the roof. In this image you are also able to see the paths connecting to and from the space.
The images above and below show the physical therapy room. In this space you are able to see the paths leading to particular rooms and the spaces between for people to train and exercise in.
