    Carson Suite Clinic

    Professor Neil Carson founded Blackburn Clinic in 1952 from his loungeroom. On this same site today, stands in his honour the new Carson Suite Clinic.

    A pioneer in the field of general practice at a time when there was no official training or recognition, Professor Carson is recognised for his influence on the discipline’s reputation and the widespread recognition General Practice has today. What became the future practice model across Australia, Dr William Arnold Conolly formed one of the first group practices in New South Wales at the time Professor Neil Carson established Blackburn Clinic as one of the first group practices in Victoria.

    In 1993 Professor Neil Carson was awarded the Officer of the Order of Australia for his service to education in the field of community medicine, and received an Honorary Doctorate of Medicine (MD) in 1994. At the time of Blackburn Clinic’s expansion in March 2022, the new tenancy within the medical precinct was named the Carson Suite, in honour of Professor Carson’s memory and his legacy to Blackburn Clinic and the community.

    Carson Suite Clinic had already engaged a reputable design & construct company to create the optimum floorplan design. With considerable collaboration & design expertise invested over several weeks, it was agreed that the floorplan design was fully optimised and ready to submit to council. Upon council approval, Carson Suite Clinic then reached out to Icon Interiors for a due diligence build cost. One of the first questions Icon asked was, would you be open to our space engineers assessing the floorplan design? The result was revolutionary.

    We’d gone a fair way with the other company…..but then you were able to overcome issues that were restricting the design, and that made a huge difference to how we could utilise the space…..

    LEONIE, FINANCE & ADMIN MANAGER

    The Icon design studio engineered a revolutionary new floorplan blueprint, dramatically increasing the space utilisation score, space flow, and people flow throughout the practice. Utilising the 5 Well-Being Principles™ behind the science of design, Icon went on to create a beautiful, timeless, and confidential medical environment, a thrilling result for the Carson Suite Clinic practice principals.

    “We were glad to engage ICON INTERIORS to help us through the unique compliance needs from signing of the lease all the way through to the amazing result”  Dr Robert Power - Practice Principal

    CAMPASPE FAMILY PRACTICE

    Campaspe Family Practice; family by name & by nature. Established by Dr Robert Power and his wife Jackie in 2000, it started off as a small single – doctor practice and grew to a large organisation, occupying an 800 SQM wing of the Kyneton Hospital.  Maintaining the welcoming culture of their small clinic roots, Campaspe Family Practice have expanded to offer accessible medical care around the Macedon Ranges.

    Taking the 800SQM tenancy from the existing Aged Care wing to a clean, functional & welcoming space for Campaspe Family Practice’s future growth was not a job for the faint of heart. Bringing the space to comply with all current regulations as per the BCA (Building Code of Australia) while working with some of the existing framework of the tenancy to keep costs manageable was a challenge we loved.

    A simple but unexpected colour palette assists with the feeling of calm within a busy space.  The timeless combination of navy walls trimmed with fresh white skirting and mid-brown timber doors allows their ever- revolving collection of art to shine

     

    Established by Dr Robert Power and his wife Jackie in 2000 when they moved to Kyneton from Ireland, they started off small as a single- doctor clinic and grew to what they are today, a large organisation in an 800 sqm wing of the Kyneton Hospital. Although they have expanded to offer further quality, accessible medical care to residents around the Macedon Ranges, the Campaspe Family Practice medical clinic retains their welcoming feel for their valued patients.  

     When first walking into the space, one is greeted by a large-scale reception & matching ceiling feature in a stunning plywood. Its shape takes inspiration from the building itself, mirroring the walkway veranda at the practices entrance. Not only does this connect the new medical fitout with the existing features, its rounded form welcomes patients, rather than a straight geometric form. In addition to this, it is highly usable as the reception can serve multiple people at a time around the shapes perimeter.

    Using a simple, yet unexpected colour scheme makes the space feel calming. Dulux Prestige Blue walls which allow their ever- revolving collection of art to shine, trimmed with a fresh white skirting and teamed with natural lacquered timber frame doors, frosted & with Campaspe’s signature shamrock on each door, are a timeless combination.  Godfrey Hirst carpet, Infusion in Dark Horizon,  grounds the space & hides everyday dirt, a necessary in the highly trafficked passage.

    In the consultation rooms, Dulux Spartan Blue feature walls both ground the space & subtly links the spaces to the common passage in the darker navy. 

    The staff kitchen, bordered by windows on 2 sides, creates a relaxing space for practitioners to come to and unwind. Laminex Charcoal and Laminex White  kitchen joinery, teamed with Essastone Sorbet benchtops and seamless glass splashbacks in Dulux Blue Sou’wester create a calming background for the warm timber table (existing) and chairs.

    This medical fitout in close proximity to Melbourne was a pleasure for the ICON INTERIORS team, it being a privilege to work with such drive to improve so many peoples’ lives.  Dr Robert & Jackie are wonderful warm people, providing a huge asset to the Macedon Ranges region.
