The intention, from the very first stages, was to create a space dedicated to health that would have the warmth of a domestic environment: a place where one could feel welcomed and supported throughout the rehabilitation process, immersed in a serene and luminous setting.
The original space was stifled by walls and suspended ceilings that concealed the large black metal windows. Freeing it was the first natural gesture: removing what obstructed light and air in order to restore the connection with the outside. Once opened up, the space revealed its most authentic nature, made of transparency and visual continuity.
The layout is divided into two areas:
The first, more intimate, is located between the condominium entrance and a terrace. Here, once the large glazed surfaces were made visible again, the reception and waiting area are located. At the entrance, a curved wall guides the visitor toward the terrace while always maintaining an active visual connection with the external vegetation.
The second area houses the therapeutic functions: gym, treatment modules, and medical offices. The cabins, alternating with the reinforced concrete pillars, modulate and articulate the main space without enclosing it, allowing the eye to perceive a continuous and airy environment. The gym, facing north, benefits from constant and never direct light, allowing enjoyment of the exterior view without the use of curtains.
The material palette is deliberately simple and honest: phenolic wood where opacity is required, polycarbonate where transparency is needed, and linoleum for the flooring, with the building services left exposed; all the elements used contribute to the compositional and chromatic balance, as well as to the simplicity and efficiency of use.
