Osteopathy Clinic Fit-Out in Craigieburn
A blank commercial tenancy transformed into a clean, modern and welcoming health space with four private consulting rooms.
Project Overview
Healthspan Osteopathy is a new clinic fit-out in Craigieburn designed by Manzel Studio from the early planning stage through to building-permit approval.
The brief called for four private consulting rooms supported by a reception, waiting area and staff room within an approximately 68.4 m² internal tenancy. The key design challenge was positioning the internal partitions around the existing exterior glazing - Manzel Studio developed an efficient layout that retained strong natural light, protected privacy and made effective use of the available floor area. A curved reception wall softened the arrival experience and guided clients naturally towards the consulting rooms.
A practical clinic fit-out balancing function and atmosphere.
The client asked Manzel Studio to design a practical and functional osteopathy clinic, obtain the developer's approval and prepare the documentation required to secure the building permit.

Positioning the layout around the existing glazing and floor area.
Every decision had to balance privacy, natural light and efficient use of an approximately 68.4 m² tenancy. Here's what shaped the approach:
- Layout & Privacy
Four enclosed consulting rooms, a reception, waiting area and staff room, each carefully sized for privacy and comfort.
- Natural Light & Glazing
Internal partitions positioned in relation to the exterior glass walls and windows to retain strong natural light.
- Movement & Arrival
A curved reception wall softened the arrival space and guided a smooth transition into the consulting-room corridor.
- Material & Character
A clean overall finish with fresh green accents, rather than feature materials or custom joinery, defined the space's identity.
A functional clinic, delivered on budget and on time.
The completed clinic balances functionality, compliance, quality and cost - and is now open and operating.
- Building Permit
Obtained in approximately two to three weeks, with all required permits and approvals secured.
- On Budget
The design was developed and delivered within the client's agreed budget.
- Consultant Coordination
Manzel Studio consulted with the client, developer, building surveyor and energy rater throughout.
- Completed & Operating
The clinic is completed and operating, delivering a practical, high-quality and welcoming result.
Words from the people who worked with us.
Appointing Ahmed, Ali, and Rukaya at Manzel Studio has been a great decision. They've helped us get our residential project building permit ready by handling the full set of drawings, coordinating with consultants, and designing the joinery for both wet and dry areas. What we really appreciated was their construction background. Instead of a standard architectural design that looks nice on paper but gets expensive and tricky to build, they actually designed things to fit our budget and keep construction costs manageable. They can handle complex briefs easily, and nothing feels too daunting for them. They're patient, pay attention to the details, and are a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable building designers.
