RBA knew the clients wanted a design that would reflect their forward thinking on patient care and technology. “We are a cutting-edge podiatry practice, and you take note of that when you walk through the door,” Legnza says. “This space was a shell so we were able turn it into what ever we wanted. We particularly liked the 12-ft. ceilings, which help keep the open feel. Another perk is that we back up to a golf course. Our patient waiting room has a full wall of windows; patients are much happier watching live golf than TV.” The design team took this shell and delivered a clean, modern design with an honest use of materials and simple palette including wood and concrete. An orange accent color pops against the white walls and black floors. “It’s a low-maintenance facility,” Brown says. “We created a harder-edge architectural space by using graphics and color.” The curved orange wall that delineates the shop from the waiting room makes the design that much more edgy, as do oversized X-rays used as an art feature throughout the space including on one full wall of the waiting room. And rather than creating small name plates to designate the patient rooms, RBA blew up the room number as an exaggerated graphic on each patient room door. Legnza and Cullen are pleased that their new RBA-designed office will help propel their business into the future. As the owner of the shoe store, Legnza says, “Everything we did was a collaboration of functionality, style, flow, and comfort for patients and staff.” She adds, “We built this with growth in mind and anticipate being here for a long time.” With a practice known for delivering expert medical and surgical podiatry care through the application of new technology and techniques, Cullen and Legnza are now able to continue offering the highest level of care in a new office with an equally high level of design.
