Modern Custom Medical Office Designs

Starting your own medical practice is an amazing accomplishment! Don’t do yourself the disservice of taking your first steps into independent practice with an old rental office. Instead, leap feet first into owning a high quality, modern, custom medical office. Sure, a practiced doctor can make do with almost any building. But… should you have to? Heidan Construction can give you an office space that pulls its own weight. Here’s what you have to look forward to.

Easy, Abundant Storage

Old medical office buildings are often not prepared for the amount of client traffic we experience in the modern year. Because practices used to be smaller, their storage is often not sufficient. This is also due to the huge increase in instruments and machines used today.

Having a modern, custom medical office built means having the right amount of storage right away. In fact, you should always opt for more than enough storage. As your business expands, your supplies will too. A medical office designed by Heidan Construction will provide you more than enough space to grow and flourish.

Spacious Exam Rooms

Another pitfall of old medical office buildings is that they’re not very spacious. Using less space may have been more practical 40 years ago, but these days it’s stifling. We have too much equipment to fit into one exam room to settle for something cramped.

Not only is more space more practical, it’s also better psychologically. Even those without claustrophobia can feel closed in when waiting for a doctor in a small exam room. A tense and stressful experience is made ten times worse. Give your patients room to breathe with more spacious exam rooms.

Comfortable Waiting Room

Starting from scratch also means getting a waiting room that’s designed for more than utility. Comfort is a large part of retaining clientele and ensuring a positive experience. Word of mouth referrals are more likely when a patient has an exceptional experience. You don’t have to have an overwhelmingly large practice to aim high. Quality over quantity.

Gorgeous Medical Office Exterior

Many old medical practices held their offices in buildings that, today, look more like houses than clinics. Or, on the more extreme side, the clinics look so, well, clinical, that people feel uneasy before even entering the building.

Heidan Construction specializes in modern, luxury design. We can make your office feel attractive and comfortable right from the get-go with a gorgeous office exterior. First impressions are everything. If patients get a positive feeling on their way inside, it sets the stage for a positive visit.

Custom Medical Office Designs

If you want to run a successful medical practice, start with something made just for you. Having everything you need in just the way you like it can truly pave the way to success. Let us know if you have questions, would like a quote, or are interested in discussing modern, custom medical office designs. We really look forward to meeting you!

Make a Statement with Artistic Luxury Building Design

Building Design isn’t just about making a shelter from the outdoors. In many cases, it’s about designing a functional work of art. It’s about surpassing the visual and practical expectations of its occupants. Heidan Construction specializes in luxury building design that catches the eye and appreciation of all the people who use them. If you want to make a statement – if you want to own an artistic luxury building – we’re the team to help you achieve that.

Eye-Catching Colors

Whether you’re looking for a residential building or a commercial one, there’s something that can’t be overlooked: color. Especially these days, there is a huge overuse of white in modern and contemporary design. While white is a very important base tone, color is what really makes a design pop. 

Artistic building design comes to life with the introduction of color. Some of the best ways you can make your building design artistic and eye-catching are by including focus colors.

Some great examples include:

  • A brightly colored front door
  • Exterior trim in a color that sharply contrasts the base color of the building
  • Colored shutters (or brightly colored curtains that highlight your windows from both sides)
  • Colored exterior accents as part of the building design

What do we mean by that last example? Well, part of modern building is going outside of tradition. Instead of designing a building with flat faces that are only interrupted by windows, you could draw attention to support beams by leaving them visible to the outside. These can be painted or coated in something colorful, turning them into accent pieces and breaking up the monotony of the facade.

Dynamic Building Shapes

Why is it that buildings are always boxes? Sure, it may be simpler, but it’s not better. Heidan Construction’s design team loves to think outside the box – literally. Asymmetrical roofs, angular houses with more than four sides, and subverting expectations are things that we love. If you’re looking for an artistic building design that defies the norm, you’re come to the right place.

High Quality Construction

Visual results are one thing, but quality construction is another. Even a death trap of a house can look good at first glance. What matters is that it stays looking good while also being safe and durable. Heidan Construction designs and builds long-lasting houses that withstand weather and daily use. Our designs are for more than some quick magazine snapshots and then quick deterioration. We know you’ll be living here for a long time and we offer quality construction accordingly.

Custom Features

Finally, part of artistic, luxury building design is meeting our clients’ unique needs. If you love unusual designs, you probably come with some unusual needs. If you need custom features to turn a house into a home, let us know. We will customize your home so that it fits you like a glove.

Give us a call if you’re interested in discussing custom building designs. Whether you’re looking for a new home or a new office space, we can give you exactly what you need and more.

Why Do People Love Open Concept Design?

It’s no mystery that open concept design is beloved by a large percentage of people. But, why is that? What exactly is the magic in open concept design that draws people in so consistently? At Heidan Construction, we get a peek into a lot of people’s design desires since we specialize in custom homes. Let us tell you a bit about what makes open concept so loved.

Object Permanence

For a lot of people, object permanence is easier in theory than in practice. That is to say, a lot of people have a hard time remembering things exist when they’re not able to see them. This is why a lot of leading organizational experts are encouraging people to organize in ways that make things more visible.

With open concept home design, you take this practice and put it into action on a larger scale. You’re more likely to read a book if your bookshelf is visible from the couch, than if your bookshelf is in your home office. It’s more likely you’ll work out if your stationary bike is just a few steps away. With open concept design, you can have things more visible more of the time. And, of course, this comes with the added bonus of motivating cleanliness.

Easier Communication

An open concept home design comes with social benefits as well. Communication is a lot easier without walls dividing us. Even in homes that aren’t considered open concept, we can see the evidence of this in breakfast bars. More homes are taking down the wall between the kitchen and dining room. This isn’t just to provide you with another place to eat. It’s also because people like to be able to talk between the dining room and kitchen. With an open concept home, this is put into action all over the house.

Better Light Flow

Walls, walls walls. They do a lot for us, but they also get in the way – literally. The more walls you have, the less your home’s light is able to flow from one space to the next. You can invest in oodles of electric lighting, or you can take advantage of open concept design and some nice, big windows. With an open concept home, your living room window may be able to light all the way from the living room to the kitchen. And, we assume your kitchen will have a window of its own. That means ample lighting from all angles.

Not only is light flow better for seeing what you’re doing and where you’re going, it’s better for your mood. The more natural light your home gets, the less likely you are to be depressed. A decrease in depression makes us happier, more productive, and more likely to clean up after ourselves. 

Easier Navigation

Finally, one of the best things about open concept homes is how easy they are to navigate. This isn’t just true for strangers trying to find your bathroom. You may not get lost in your own home, but you will take longer to get from one place to another the more walls there are. With fewer divisions, you can take a few steps and get from living room to kitchen to dining room. And, all of that convenience comes without sacrificing actual size and space.

Architecture Design Build Experts in Toronto

If you need a building produced, whether that’s for living or working, you need architects that know what they’re doing. More importantly, you need architects that do what you want. Moreover, they need to do it right. Fortunately, Toronto has exactly that. If you need a building custom made, architecture design build experts are available right here at Heidan Construction.

Design Build Makes Building Easy

If you’re not familiar with the term, design build means a company does the designing and the building. Instead of hiring two separate teams to do the designing and constructing, you can get it all done in one place.

Design build makes building easier for everyone involved. Why is that? Well, for one thing, the team building is intimately familiar with the designs. There’s a smaller chance for error, since they’re the ones who created the design. Plus, you don’t have to worry about contacting two different teams and transferring blueprints between them.

The process is easy with design build. You come in for a consultation, we sit down and discuss your needs, we make a plan, then we build that plan. In the end, all you had to do was tell us what direction to go in and then confirm that our plan met with your approval.

Architects with Style

Heidan Construction isn’t your average construction company; we’re a company with style. We aim, specifically, to build modern and contemporary homes and offices. We aim for luxury and class. Therefore, when you rely on us to build a home or office for you, you can expect stunning results.

A lot of construction companies out there are perfectly adequate at building average, normal homes. However, if you want to reach beyond that, you have to go with someone who’s familiar with the unusual. When you work with Heidan, you can expect unique ideas that look great and meet all of your day-to-day needs. 

Builders with Class

Furthermore, construction can be classy. It’s not an uncommon stereotype that construction workers are classless, rude, and messy. That’s not us. When our team builds your home, you can trust that they’ll be respectful in attitude, respectable in appearance, and leave the place in sparkling shape. When we say your home is turn-key ready, that means no more construction site – just your new home and yard.

Modern Homes and Businesses

Luxury custom homes and offices built by Heidan Construction’s team of architecture design build experts are the best there is. They’re the perfect beginning to a modern home or business. You can expect state of the art smart technology, automation, and motorization of every part of the home. That is, assuming you want that. In the end, what we’re here for is to fulfill your custom home and office desires in style. Call us today if you’d like to set up a consultation. We look forward to hearing from you.

Luxury Indoor Pool Rooms for Custom Homes

There’s nothing quite like taking a swim without having to leave home. A private pool means all of the water to yourself, complete authority over how the pool is used, and no public showers. However, not everyone likes going for a swim outdoors – especially not if the weather is beginning to shift toward cold. Fortunately, you can get a luxury indoor pool room when you opt for a custom home. Let’s look at some of those perks.

Year-Round Comfort

For a lot of people, the idea of an indoor pool seems excessive and pointless. However, it’s actually got a lot more reason behind it than you might think. An indoor pool isn’t just the result of having so much money you don’t know what to do with it all. It’s actually a very practical investment.

One of the primary reasons to consider an indoor pool is that it can be used year round. If you’re going to spend a lot of money to get an in-ground pool, you may as well be able to access it year round, right? It’s a rather expensive upgrade to only be able to use it for the warmer months.

A luxury indoor pool room means you can go for a comfortable swim in the middle of January if you want to. This is optimal for those who swim as part of their routine exercise. 

Cleaner, Safer Pool Space

Another benefit of having a luxury indoor pool room is that your pool remains cleaner and safer. Not only do you not have to waste time fishing leaves out of the pool, you don’t have to spend the money to have it professionally cleaned nearly as often. There are so many microorganisms outdoors that are looking for a place to call home, that an outdoor pool can be a haven of bacteria.

Not only does an indoor pool remain cleaner, it’s also safer. Having small children and an outdoor pool can quickly become a huge hazard. If you like to let your young kids play in the backyard without constant supervision, a luxury indoor pool can guarantee they won’t end up falling in. You can simply keep the pool space locked from the outside so that only someone with a key – and the ability to swim – can get in.

Maximum Privacy

Ever wanted to go skinny dipping? If you’re like most of the world, you don’t exactly have the privacy to do that without risking getting caught. Most people aren’t into that. With a luxury indoor pool room, you can close the blinds and go swimming au naturel. Not only is this more comfortable for many people, it also means you can avoid the annoying changing in and out of a wet swimsuit.

Increased Pool Security

If you’ve ever owned an outdoor pool, you know there’s always the concern that some teenagers are going to help themselves to it. It may seem too risky to the average teen while you’re at home. However, seeing your neighbor going on vacation does create some opportunity.

Keep your pool safe from strangers, and yourself safe from liability, by having an indoor pool behind a locked door. With a luxury indoor pool room, you won’t have to worry about anyone accessing your pool without your say-so. Getting a luxury indoor pool room is as simple as putting it in the blueprint of your new luxury custom home from Heidan Construction. Call us today if you have questions. We’re happy to help you decide if a custom home is right for you.

Custom Toronto Vacation Home Design And Construction

Not everyone lives in Toronto year-round. For some, getting closer to the city is a seasonal change. Spending the holidays here or coming here for the summer is the preferred state of things. However, unless you want to pay outrageous hotel prices, it might be more economical to invest in a custom Toronto vacation home. Here are some of the benefits of keeping a second home.

Impromptu Getaways

Is there anything better than deciding you want a change of scenery and just going somewhere? With a custom Toronto vacation home, you can just make the decision to visit the city without having to plan anything. Think of spontaneous weekend vacation dates with your significant other. Or a quick visit to family without sleeping on their pullout sofa. Getting to visit Toronto without planning ahead is a fantastic way to turn vacation into something relaxing – which it should be!

Flexible Vacation Dates

Not only can you go on vacation at the drop of a hat, your vacation dates are flexible. Booking a hotel or a room at a bed and breakfast doesn’t have that kind of flexibility. Planning to spend a couple weeks in the city over your kids’ spring break? Finding out last minute that one of them has one more midterm 3 days into spring break isn’t going to cost you hundreds in hotel rent or cancelation fees. Simply staying behind a few extra days is completely free.

It goes the other way too! Everyone already packed a couple days ahead of time? Surprise the family by calling in sick to work and whisking them away a bit earlier than expected. Your custom Toronto vacation home is waiting and ready.

Comfortable, Personal Lodgings

A hotel has its perks. However, even when you’re paying an arm and a leg, getting a hotel room never really feels personal. For a lot of people, it’s hard to relax when thinking about someone else having slept in the same bed 12 hours earlier. Plus, even the cleanest hotel rooms have dirty little secrets hidden in the fabrics and carpet. Do you really want to spend your vacation paying hundreds a night for a space that’s riddled with unsavory history?

Vacationing in your own home means staying somewhere that’s stocked with all of the essentials, right to your specifications. The towels are the right size and softness, the design is exactly what you like, and the kitchen is full-sized and full of utensils. Plus, if you find yourself on vacation frequently, you can simply keep a second set of clothes and such at your Toronto vacation home. Then, packing more than a backpack isn’t even necessary.

AirBnB Property in the Off-Season

If you find yourself only using your Toronto vacation home for a quarter of the year and don’t mind sharing the space, you can also rent it out as an AirBnB property. Or, if you’d rather have fewer people using your home, you can simply sublet it. If you spend summers there, sublet it for the school year to students. If you spend the school year in Toronto, sublet it for the summer as a vacation destination. No matter how you do it, you can make a few bucks instead of letting it sit empty.

Custom Toronto Vacation Home Design

If you want a custom Toronto vacation home, you can get one with help from Heidan Construction. Call us today and set up a consultation. There, we can discuss the home design and create something that’s perfect for you and anyone else in your family.
