A clinic designed for calm
Our home in Te Aro was thoughtfully reimagined for exceptional eye care — a warm, light-filled space in the heart of Wellington, designed with Pico Studio Architects.
Reimagined, room by room
Rather than settle into a standard medical suite, Dr Leong worked with Pico Studio Architects to reimagine an existing Te Aro building into a clinic made for eye care — shaped closely around how it feels to arrive, wait and be cared for.
The result is a warm, light-filled space: skylights and glazing for natural light, timber detailing and greenery for warmth, and a calm navy-and-white palette that carries the brand through every room — bringing modern ophthalmic technology together with a genuinely welcoming feel.

A space that cares for people and place
Filled with natural light
Skylights and generous glazing draw daylight deep into the clinic, for a space that feels calm and open — not clinical.
Warm and green
Timber detailing, a soft palette and planting throughout make every room feel warm and restorative, from the entry to the waiting area.
A considered reuse
Rather than build new, the clinic reimagines an existing Te Aro building — a lighter-footprint approach that keeps good bones and makes them beautiful.
Arrive with ease
A covered entry lets you arrive out of the weather, with parking and step-free access just metres from reception.
“I wanted somewhere that feels calm the moment you walk in — plenty of light, a bit of greenery, and the space to look after people properly.”

A space is only as good as its people
We designed the clinic to feel calm — but it's the team who bring it to life. Get to know the people who'll look after you, led by Dr James Leong.
