GHP Q4 2019

6 GHP / Q4 2019 , Specialising in supporting the healthcare market, Medd offers integrated architecture and design solutions. We spoke to the firm’s CEO, Miguel Moura Castro, to find out more about the services it has to offer, and how these have been tailored tomeet the specific needs of the healthcare space. Architecture Designed With Wellbeing In Mind “We believe that what drives Medd’s success is an understanding of the importance of designing spaces with a view to people’s well-being. It’s important to always consider and think about those who will use the space in every day – what they need the space to achieve.” - Miguel Moura Castro Utilising a talented team of architects, designers, and engineers with more than 20 years’ experience in the market, Medd has forged a reputation for developing turnkey projects, equipment and furniture for pharmacies, clinics, veterinary clinics, and opticians. Each and every member of this talented team are aware of the importance of doing strong projects that respect the needs and rules that the healthcare industry simply demands. Yet, throughout it all, Medd remain laser-focused on one simple goal: to improve the quality of life for those that will utilise the space. Work in it. Live in it. “Isn’t that the whole purpose of architecture and design? We design with health in mind, for our clients and, where applicable, their customers.” As a result, they remain dedicated to offering clients services tailored to meet their specific needs. Working with pharmacies, specialist clinics and more, the team has to provide a solution that will meet their niche requirements and ensure that the outcome of every project will stand the test of time, regardless of regulatory changes. All in all, Medd’s success can be attributed to their client-centricity and the degree to which they tailor their work to the smallest of details. “This is the most important thing – to create designs that take into account not only the aesthetic side, but the functionality of every detail. Clients place a great deal of trust and respect for our work, and that is what drives us to grow and always seek the best results.” So far, this founding ethos has certainly provided a strong bedrock for the firm’s growth, with a future defined by expansion into new markets, as Miguel concludes. “We are present in the Portuguese and French markets. The goal for next year is to increase our presence in the European market, where we already have projects underway. At the moment, in terms of product design and equipment, everything is produced by us and transported from Portugal. As we produce large volumes, we have had to consider producing light, and easily disassembled solutions. It’s been a challenge, but one we’ve embraced.” Even as they drive forward with this plan for international expansion, Medd’s ultimate goal and purpose remains to improve people’s quality of life through the creation of innovative architectural and design solutions.
