Studio Tate was engaged to design the second location for WellSpace Psychology in Prahran, with the objective of transforming a former gym into a refined and welcoming environment for mental health care. The brief called for a series of boutique consulting suites that balance a sense of calm with an elevated aesthetic, appealing equally to clients and practitioners.
The design response leverages the site’s generous ceiling height to create an open and inviting reception area, anchored by a consistent datum line, a custom banquette lounge, and softly layered lighting to establish a sense of intimacy. A warm and tactile material palette—including a tiled reception counter, rendered finishes, and textured fabrics—introduces a sense of depth and character to the front-of-house experience.
Cork flooring and warm timber tones guide users through the space, culminating in a series of consulting suites defined by soft furnishings and a calming palette of muted blues. The result is a considered, tranquil environment that supports WellSpace Psychology’s commitment to holistic mental health care, while offering a space that feels both professional and deeply personal.
