this medical unit is not often seen as a friendly environment, the cold
registration desk, the worrisome waiting chairs and the disturbing doors
of the clinic rooms, all contribute to a sense of distrust. the studio
aimed to eliminate this fear and create a space which would reflect the
warmth and care that this health care group wished to project.
ordinary chairs in traditional hospitals are arranged in a parallel order which designer
believes enhances the unease of patients. instead the studio introduced
a series of rectangular tables which patients could sit around,
presenting an unconventional environment that goes against the ‘waiting
room’ area aesthetic. this layout is complimented by contemporary
furniture pieces including bookshelves, pots, plants, hanging lamps and
even a tea and coffee space, creating a home-from-home setting
the desk holds a complimentary facade which uses cut-away circles
the facade of the exterior is decorated using modular embellishments
which have been translated into the interior, forming a complimentary
facade behind the sign-in desk. a large play area for children is placed
at the center of the room, using a house-shaped entrance which allows
for a sense of warmth to be felt within the building. the corridors
which lead to the medical rooms use numbers painted onto the floor,
which subtly distract the patient from their nervous apprehensions
