Tall Tree Physiotherapy and Integrated Care Clinic Mattick’s, Canada
The team at Tall Trees Integrated Health Centre needed a building that would support the holistic health of their patients, and foster learning, innovation, and expertise in healthcare. The brief to us was clear: to create a space for healing within this unique forested site.
This project celebrates simplicity in form and structure, focusing on forming a relationship between architecture and the natural world in order to support therapeutic treatment.
It is designed to reflect the natural world, create a sense of calm and focus, and promote regeneration. Bringing the environment into the space, both visually and physically, was a clear direction at the outset of our design process.
The curvilinear form of the floorplan responds to the existing canopy of the surrounding mature trees and ecosystem, while expansive, full-height glazing wraps around the curved interior spaces, creating organic forms that immerse the occupants into the forest.
The extensive use of wood—as both a structural and finishing element is present throughout the building—and is a central feature of the design. Large mass timber panels were created through the gluing of layers of wood together to create an incredibly strong material to build the overall structure of the building. These panels capture carbon for the lifecycle of the building, promoting the physical and mental health of occupants as a result.
