A few months ago we were approached by the owners and directors of Thrive Downtown Counselling Centre seeking a redesign of their existing therapy spaces. The brief was to design a series of unique spaces that they could utilize in the care of their clients.

Thrive Downtown Counselling specializes in unique forms of therapy and they wanted to convey bold and unique spaces to help guide their clients through this care. Without impinging on the existing layout of the building, they sought three individual designs that had their own distinct look and feel. And we are not talking about just a splash of paint here!

Our lead designer, Derick, took inspiration not specifically from interior design, but from the landscapes of the world. The Middle East, South America, and a European flair all radiate from these spaces. Taking design ideas for unorthodox places to craft transformative spaces.

JUNGLE ROOM
 

Starting with the most impressive room of them all, the Jungle Room. The idea was to uplift the space into the dense Brazilian rainforest with the use of a room-filling jungle print that spreads the entire height and width of the walls and surrounding windows.

Our green team of soft landscapers incorporated a mixture of living and artificial plants of varying heights to create a sense of depth and forest feel to this space. The mix of artificial and living plants ensured easy maintenance while sustaining a natural organic feel.

DESERT ROOM

The second space features a desert-inspired room pulled straight from a Laurence of Arabia film set. Featuring a soft backlit desert window covering that excelled in more direct light, spilling an orange hue into this space to create a dry ambiance.

We matched the Persian orange of the walls into the choice of the clinician's chairs to complete the character along with our designer's key feature of up lighting to craft shadows into the nook spaces to help extend the room and create a larger feeling of space.

BEACH ROOM

The third and final room theme provides a calm and relaxing beach space that helps restore the mind. Filled with gold, silver, and bronze of the wallpaper, art, and lighting fixtures, contrasted with the deep blues and soft grays of the rugs and seating arrangement. All with a soft and inviting beachscape window covering that again maximizes the soft lighting that comes from this side of the building.

We are very proud of this unique space and we are appreciative of our clients at Thrive Downtown Counselling who allowed us to be bold and design such unique spaces. The theme amongst our team when we completed this unique project was that we would like to personally spend time here relaxing in these distinct spaces!
