ExpertiseAt NTD, we believe that an integrated design approach guarantees a better outcome. Our design staff includes medical designers, strategic and master planners, programmers, architects, healthcare clinicians and interior designers. The integration of these disciplines promotes co-ordination between design and documentation, and enhances the quality and timeliness of the project delivery process.

Core ValuesThere are three major aspects that differentiate NTD from other architectural firms; specialisation in healthcare design with evidence and research based practice; the use of healthcare clinicians during the design phase; and our unique planning and design process.

Our work promotes new ideas about the effect of the built environment on the healing process. We create state-of-the-art facilities that support and encourage recuperation, well being and vital interaction, as well as creating stimulating environments for physicians, nurses and staff.

We believes that every healthcare facility should incorporate natural light, a feeling of openness, and uplifting interior design schemes. Design elements include atriums, courtyards, planters and artwork that promote a connection to nature. Other ‘design features’ focus on noise reduction, improved air quality and glare reduction, and patient rooms offer different options for lighting, temperature and seating. Additional facility space is designed to support the ‘Family Centered Concept’. A concept that acknowledges the social support that is essential for healing and psychological well-being.

The inclusion of each of these design elements reduces the stress response for patients, families and the professional staff.

Many of our projects include design schemes that reflect research findings known to support the optimal patient and staff experience in the healthcare environment. Several facilities have reported the impact of the built environment on organisational and human variables such as incremental changes in market share; satisfaction levels of patients, staff, and physicians; retention and turnover rates of nursing staff; and labor costs per patient encounter.

We strive to understand the operational and functional needs from the patient’s perspective and from the perspective of the User Groups. Our firm utilises healthcare clinicians as part of the planning and design phase, which gives us access to the latest trends in healthcare delivery and design options. We were one of the first architectural firms in the nation to use healthcare professionals on the planning and design team and their input has proven to be invaluable.

NTD employs an unique system that allows healthcare professionals and participants to directly affect and influence the design and planning of a project through innovative workshops.

The system greatly improves communication, identifies needs and critical adjacencies and articulates the design and planning process, resulting in greater efficiencies, cost savings and fosters a greater sense of ownership from the client and end users.

The BIM (Building Information Modelling) System This advanced system allows our teams to continually and instantly test our designs, with all essential systems and services being co-ordinated in real time. This ensures all costs, specifications and schedules are embedded throughout the process, resulting in high performance design, with a greater degree of control over budgeting and scheduling.

APC DatabaseThis comprehensive system allows both clients and staff the ability to track, manage and organise the procurement process; essential when dealing with large quantities of items. Staff and clients are able to view items at all stages of their life cycle, from production right through to shipping and installation. Both staff and clients can produce reports, gather specification sheets and order items electronically. The system automatically produces labels for all items to ensure they are shipped on time, to the correct location and with the right supporting documentation to ensure speedy transfer through customs.

Our unique collaboration to deliver is backed up by several innovative processes. They ensure we work quickly and effectively as a group, and they guarantee our clients can make the most of our expertise, vast network of suppliers and our impressive buying power.
