Healthcare Architecture & Interior Design
Base Medical is a multi award winning firm committed to producing only the highest quality of architecture. It was established in 2005, and headed by director Shawn Godwin, it has been recognised for inventive thinking, creative flair and outstanding service.
Base has a highly expert team specialising in the medical fit-out industry. Together, our team has delivered several projects for some of Australia’s most prominent medical providers. We go beyond exterior elements of medical offices and also offer modern hospital interior design and healthcare interior design for private practices and community clinics.

Additionally, we can also assist with design of dental surgeries.
Medical Fit-outs
Strategic Planning
At Base, we understand that given its functional complexities, specialist medical architecture starts with strategic planning and we should encourage our involvement in the initial planning stage, drawing out what doctors and practice managers have in mind, and accommodate medical staff and patients alike.
We analyze in detail the experience in each area for all end users, so that areas are designed to provide efficient functionality in welcoming, relaxing spaces.
We have extensive knowledge of the DDA (Disability discrimination Act) and can ensure your project complies with current Australian standards, in particular the AS-1428.1 – Design for Access and Mobility.
The Design Asset
We focus on healthcare design that makes a significant difference in the way medical and admin staff, and patients experience the clinic, and that prioritizes on patient well-being and comfort; creating unique medical facilities that play down the clinical aspects, and create warm and appealing settings that enhance the healing environment, and where patients feel truly comfortable and calm. Spaces that patients would like to come back to.
Cost-effective & Sustainable
We believe that cost-effective building is the key to modern medical architecture for the community and that this can be achieved through sustainable design.
By favouring timeless designs, our medical practices will hold true for decades, saving the need to refurbish too often.
