The first stage of cabinets has gone in; this includes the sinks in each practitioner room
the cleaning and filing room
the staff kitchen and treatment room
Interesting to note we use Fibonacci mathematics (natures maths) to divide objects and the spacing of objects to ensure natural flow can occur in even apparently solid objects like cabinets and furniture positioned in a room, remembering they are all vibrating particles ultimately and thus should also concur with natural forces.The essence of the Fibonacci Principle or use of Fibonacci sequences is to ensure each and every proportion is in a comfortable ratio. What appears to be a piece of furniture is actually a mathematically ordered sequence, much like a sunflower or a shell – they are nature’s perfectly ordered sequence.
Standard heights, widths and depths of furniture, shelving, general ‘objects’ have been known and used for hundreds, if not, thousands of years. For example, table heights for eating /working are 750cm. This has been worked out according to ergonomics; the study of human proportions and finding a comfortable height to sit , for most human beings ( there will always be the exceptions, extra ordinary tall or shorter people sometimes need custom made heights to accommodate their proportions) but as a general rule of thumb, ergonomics capture the majority . What are human beings natural proportions based on ? The Fibonacci ...remember Leonardo's famous sketch .

The Fibonacci sequence is a mathematical sequence where each number in the sequence is determined by adding together the previous two: 0,1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55...
The ratio of adjacent numbers in the sequence progressively approaches the golden mean proportions of 1:1.618.
