TAP Design Consultancy partnered with Laya Healthcare to define the design strategy and concept for three new health and wellbeing clinics in Ireland.

Created in line with Laya’s growth ambitions and brand refresh, the aim was to set a benchmark for private healthcare in Ireland.

Our approach is rooted in inclusive design. By recognising the broad spectrum of neurodiversity, we shaped clinics that support different sensory, cognitive and physical needs — moving beyond clinical function to prioritise wellbeing and experience. The result is a holistic, future-focused environment that feels considered, calm and genuinely human.

Our Approach

[ DESIGNING FOR INCLUSIVITY ]

Using our Neurodiversity Design Toolkit, we design environments that respond to a wide range of sensory, cognitive and physical needs. The framework guides decisions across sound, light, layout, materials and wayfinding – creating spaces that feel intuitive, calm and easy to navigate for everyone.

Applied from early planning through to furniture, signage and finishes, this approach reduces unnecessary environmental stress while strengthening brand expression.

Working alongside Laya, Alliance Medical and HPA Architects, we delivered three flagship clinics in Dublin and Cork. From autism-friendly zones to tactile wayfinding and calming spatial geometry, every detail was designed to support wellbeing and create better experiences in healthcare settings.

Interweaving the Brand

[ GUIDED BY POWERFUL MOMENTUM ]

Guided by the brand ethos Powerful Momentum, we translated Laya’s energy, optimism and sense of progress into an environment that feels purposeful and uplifting.

Curved forms from the Laya logotype informed the spatial language – expressed through graphic feature walls, joinery and intuitive wayfinding. These softer geometries help reduce visual tension while reinforcing brand recognition throughout the clinic.

Natural materials and finishes – including wood-effect flooring, joinery and screening – were used to introduce warmth and calm, supporting a more human healthcare experience.

Working closely with Laya Healthcare, we set out to challenge convention and raise expectations of what healthcare environments can be. The result is a series of spaces that are accessible, empowering and designed to support wellbeing at every stage of the patient journey.
