Purity Bridge Cosmetic Plastic Surgeons, Royal Tunbridge Wells
Purity Bridge Cosmetic Plastic Surgeons wanted to expand their surgery within their existing premises in Royal Tunbridge Wells without having to relocate. HE Interiors, in collaboration with Oander and Cowan Architects, took on the challenge of creating a new surgical area in the basement to allow more complex procedures to be performed in situ. Key aspects included designing ventilation and backup power systems to meet regulatory requirements, while working around restrictive constraints such as low ceiling heights and limited space. The works were delivered in 12 weeks, and full surgery operations were maintained throughout, with no disruption to existing patient appointments. Visually, the external appearance of the building was unaffected despite the installation of significant new systems internally.
Project Highlights
- Objective: Expand surgical capacity in existing premises so that more complex procedures could be carried out without moving location.
- Design & Compliance: Worked with Cowan Architects; designed ventilation systems and power backup systems (for equipment & lighting) to meet regulatory and functional requirements.
- Spatial Constraints:
• Basement area with very low ceiling heights.
• All ventilation and backup power equipment needed to fit into restricted space without compromising performance or safety. - Visual & Building Integrity: Ensured that the external building appearance was unchanged despite internal upgrading of major services.
- Operational Continuity: Surgery remained fully functional during the works; no interruption to patient appointments.
- Timeline: Project completed in 12 weeks from start of site to finish.
- Client Feedback / Working Relationships: The client (via Oander) praised HE Interiors as being proactive, responsive and willing to tackle challenges.
