Aescend Aesthetics is located in a renovated, original Milton cottage with pituresque views of the rolling farmlands surrounding this small coastal town. When the owners took on the lease they were already established in a much smaller premises which had also been designed and project managed by The Formery. Upon re-engagement their brief was to emulate the style of the original location to ensure that the unique 'Aescend' style transferred. The new premises was significantly larger - increasing their operational capacity by 3 treatment rooms, a tea room, large reception area and retail space. 

The girls wanted to save costs by working within the confines of the newly renovated building which had been recently painted internally and externally, had had new timber. and polished concrete flooring throughout, and a recycled brick fire wall. Economy of the project was further supported by staging the fit-out, incorporating items from the original establishment and resourcing of unique pieces through second hand sellers and online custom suppliers. 

Within financial constraints, the brief was to design a unique, visually rich, aesthetic space with a narrative aligned to the companies' ethos of accessibility, equity, clinical standards, discretion and individuality. One that spoke of privacy and quiet luxury while remaining compliant with the requirements for a medical facility that conducts semi-invasive procedures.
