For healthcare practice owners, parking is often the first challenge to solve in the design and construction of a new facility.
It affects planning, access, and the overall experience, but when site size is limited, it can be the first thing that's compromised.
Our design approach: creative problem solving.
Undercroft parking can be a strategic way to maximise site potential, particularly on constrained blocks where at-grade parking would take valuable space away from the practice itself.
By integrating parking beneath the building footprint, more of the site can be utilised for clinical rooms, staff areas, patient amenities and enabling future growth. It can also support a more seamless arrival experience, helping patients move from car to reception with greater ease and confidence.
We have never met a patient who complained about having too many car parks to choose from. But when parking is limited, unclear or difficult to access, it can quickly become their first pain point.
