Take an exclusive tour at Camden Medical Centre's new healthcare facilities

Check-up jitters no more.

Singapore’s commercial interior design company Kyoob-id had recently completed a design consultancy project for a local public hospital healthcare facilities. Located on Level 15 of Camden Medical Centre is the Orthopaedic Sports and Joint Centre, which comprises clinics, orthopaedic diagnostics, physiotherapy, pharmacy, and listing – making this a one-stop centre for all orthopaedic needs. The Health Assessment Centre together with Diagnostic Radiology are situated on Level 16.

Kyoob-id completed the design consultancy from design conceptualisation to production of tender drawings within a period of three months. The construction was handled by ISG, an international construction services company.
Michelle Goh, director of Kyoob-id said, “Organic forms are chosen because they are fluid and seamless. We envisioned a space with no sharp corners and edges. Such an environment will be conducive for a recuperating patient. For this project, we’ve also sourced and incorporated many low-cost yet quality materials in the production, which have managed to bring down the cost for our client to a great extent.”

Organic forms thus dominate in the design from curved carpentry to smooth finishing. Likening a fluid energy that moves uninterrupted in organic forms from point to point, the design travels across boundary, connecting flooring to table tops through to ceilings, merging interior with architecture.

An interlocking symbol is also created and creatively transpired onto screen panels and wall features. Kyoob-id’s senior designer Tiwe Tan added: “The interlocked symbol connotes ‘interlocked bones, joints, or body parts’ to sync with the hospital’s clinical scope and is interestingly anchored throughout the centre from door signage to wall murals and collateral displays.”
