Parramatta Ambulance
Our recent project for Parramatta Ambulance, in collaboration with Corporate Construction Group, showcases a modern and functional design that meets the needs of a vital service. For this installation, we utilized sleek 100x100mm floor tiles throughout the facility, providing a durable and easy-to-maintain surface that can withstand the demands of a high-traffic environment. In addition to the floor tiles, we incorporated 100x300mm matte white ceramic tiles on the walls, creating a clean and contemporary aesthetic that enhances the overall look of the space.
To complete the design, we installed white aluminum angles on all exposed edges, adding a polished finish that enhances durability and safety. This detail not only provides a seamless and cohesive look but also protects the edges of the tiles, ensuring they stand up to wear and tear over time.

Design in Details
In design, we bring characteristics of the natural world into built spaces, such as water, greenery, and natural light, or elements like wood and stone. Encouraging the use of natural systems and processes in design allows for exposure to nature, and in turn, these design approaches improve health and wellbeing. There are a number of possible benefits, including reduced heart rate variability and pulse rates, decreased blood pressure, and increased activity in our nervous systems, to name a few.
Over time, our connections to the natural world diverged in parallel with technological developments. Advances in the 19th and 20th centuries fundamentally changed how people interact with nature. Sheltered from the elements, we spent more and more time indoors. Today, the majority of people spend almost 80-90% of their time indoors, moving between their homes and workplaces. As interior designers embrace biophilia.

Incredible Result
Establishing multi-sensory experiences, we can design interiors that resonate across ages and demographics. These rooms and spaces connects us to nature as a proven way to inspire us, boost our productivity, and create greater well-being. Beyond these benefits, by reducing stress and enhancing creativity, we can also expedite healing. In our increasingly urbanized cities, biophilia advocates a more humanistic approach to design. The result is biophilic interiors that celebrate how we live, work and learn with nature. The term translates to ‘the love of living things’ in ancient Greek (philia = the love of / inclination towards), and was used by German-born American psychoanalyst Erich Fromm in The Anatomy of Human Destru ctiveness (1973).
