The Newly Institute

The Newly Institute uses cutting-edge therapeutic techniques to treat those suffering from mental health issues, trauma, and chronic pain. To support clients approaching treatment with a sense of vulnerability, The Newly wanted to provide education and create a sense of safety. Knowing this, the design team created a space that could take clients on a sensory journey through the use of color, light, and texture. Part of developing that soothing feeling was using DIRTT timber, fluted wall panels and reeded glass. The result was a space that offered a refined residential look while still delivering on performance.

Elevated aesthetics were key but being durable enough to stand up to the wear and tear of a clinic ensured the longevity of the space. Improved acoustics were also a consideration given the confidential nature of the treatment. Using perimeter enhancements and back-to-back DIRTT solid walls contributed to the speech privacy they needed. Those same wall assemblies also offered enough cavity space to support a series of embedded displays in their education area. Using the DIRTT Construction System, The Newly Institute had a space that would welcome people on their healing journey and last well into the future.
