DESIGN INTENT

Healthcare interiors must balance function with atmosphere. Flooring at St George’s Hospital was specified to withstand high foot traffic, hospital beds, and clinical equipment, while creating a calm and reassuring environment.The foyer features wool carpet tiles with a hand‑tufted rug installation, providing a visually striking and welcoming entry for visitors. Modular Inception carpet tiles throughout circulation and clinical spaces allow flexible layouts, zoning, and blending of colours and patterns to suit the functional and spatial requirements of each area. Subtle textures and neutral tones create a composed backdrop, enhancing spatial clarity and visual cohesion across patient, staff, and visitor areas.
