The brief was to design a clinic with Contour Clinics brand strategy of a welcoming, calming place ensuring a positive experience when coming for cosmetic surgery; a place that did not feel like a medical clinic.
The colour palette was to represent the brand in a very subtle and soothing way. The existing tenancy was long and narrow. We created a spine to the clinic with treatment rooms to either side. To ensure the length of the corridor did not look too daunting, another lounge area was positioned midway. Arches along the corridor were also designed to break up this space.
Gentle curves to walls and false curtain walls add the softness to the space whilst still reflecting the brand. The paint application to the walls also has a gentleness, showing movement and texture. The design is innovative in a sense that it paves a new way to approach design when it comes to clinical and medical practices.
Rather than creating spaces that clearly emphasize sterility, which has been done traditionally for clinics and hospitals alike, a conscious decision has been made to do the opposite; to dissociate the design from the actual function of the space.

Stephanie Nadel

Assosciate Interior Architect

What makes Stephanie Nadel’s success story so remarkable is that she has come so far, so fast.
Stephanie, the Associate Interior Architect at Marylou Sobel Interior Design, has gained more experience, and handled more responsibilities in the past ten years than many other design professionals take on in their careers.

Stephanie, a multi-talented full service professional, carried out a wide variety of commercial and residential design tasks while she was based in London. She worked for three prominent interior design firms, as well as on her own, and served clients around the world.

In the process, she helped complete within 12 weeks the design and installation of a penthouse suite on The World, the luxury residential yacht that circumnavigates the globe. Prior to this Stephanie lead the full refurbishment of a lavish, Grade II listed, five bedroom home in the Hampstead Garden suburbs in London.

During her five years in London, she worked with Gensler, the world’s largest collaborative design, planning and consulting firm; MoreySmith, a leading design and architecture studio, and Fiona Barratt Interiors, an award-winning luxury design firm.

Assisting with projects for those firms, launching her own residential practice, and interacting with vendors worldwide provided her with project management, creative problem solving, sourcing, technical and other skills that benefit her clients today.

Stephanie earned her Bachelor of Interior Architecture degree at the University of New South Wales.

While she is adept in several aspects of design, she’s particularly interested in the challenge of refurbishing existing spaces. “I enjoy the problem solving that’s involved with existing buildings,” she says. “Although it is always a privilege to design alongside a team to create new and innovative structures, I love creating meaningful design from older properties and taking inspiration from heritage details.”
