A Clinic is a newly established aesthetic medical brand aimed at providing patients with a private, membership-based service. We were invited to design its first medical clinic. The clinic is situated on the seventh floor of a tower designed to hotel standards, characterized by a dense column grid and limited ceiling height. Designing a space that complies with medical clinic regulations poses significant challenges. The clinic occupies the western half of the tower, featuring a linear plan around a central core, with the sole entrance at one end. Effectively managing a 70-meter circulation path is another challenge.
The typical flow in medical aesthetics includes consultation rooms, imaging rooms, examination rooms, treatment rooms, and observation areas. We observed that this flow often compromises patient privacy and leads to overlapping paths. The design concept aims to optimize patient circulation by consolidating space types into three categories: waiting areas (serving both consultation and observation functions), examination rooms (integrating consultation and imaging functions), and treatment rooms. These three space types are distributed in 6 clusters among the space. This circulation design enhances efficiency while safeguarding patient privacy.
The proposal introduces a new column grid at a 45-degree angle to the existing one. Cluster designs adhere to this new grid, establishing clear and independent boundaries and entrances, ensuring independence and privacy among clusters, and circumventing the rigid paths often associated with linear spaces. The transitional areas between clusters are defined by essential functional spaces.
The material selection emphasizes easy-to-clean and slip-resistant tiles. Each of the six clusters is assigned a distinct color, providing an intuitive spatial orientation. The interiors of the clusters primarily feature wood finishes, adorned with the brand's unique floral-patterned windows, which allow natural light to enter and add a gentle ambiance to the medical space.
