nettletontribe was entrusted with the responsibility of designing and delivering a sophisticated interior design solution for Matilda Nepean Private Hospital, located in Kingswood Western Sydney. Situated adjacent to the Nepean Public Hospital, this 90-bed sub-acute facility offers mental health and rehabilitation services to patients in need.

The design approach focused on replicating the refined ambiance of a luxurious boutique hotel, with an unwavering emphasis on patient comfort, care, and hospitality.

At the heart of our design brief was to create an environment that provides top-quality rehabilitation healthcare and balanced functional necessities with a commitment to promoting overall well-being. The core concept was based on Matilda Healthcare’s goals while also incorporating elements that reflected their context – the mountains – with the fluidity of watercolour. This resulted in a soft, cohesive theme throughout the private hospital.

The entryway was designed to reflect an upmarket private hospital and the quality care it represents. The ground reception’s palette featured deeper colours of navy, browns, and darker timber to establish a professional hub. We collaborated with esteemed Sydney-based photographic artist, Pamela Pauline, to further elevate the concept of integrating the landscape into interior design. Pauline’s artistic contributions truly enlivened the space, adding unparalleled beauty and connection to the surroundings.
