The fluidity of clouds represent the flow of nature, from intangible to tangible and back to intangible; Whereas an hour-glass is a measure of time, and a static sandfall a metaphor for resilience against the passage of time.

In late 2023, Atelier Pacific was given a new mission - to design the interiors of the new 500sqm. DynaMed medical beauty clinic located high up in the tower of the International Finance Centre, Shanghai.

Inspired by the flowing clouds of the Shanghai skies above and the static sandfall of the Huangpu Bund below, the clinic features a streamlined design with a thematic feature wall made of ceramic blocks welcoming visitors to the reception area. Terrazzo patterns, like scattered sands on the floor, guide guests toward the waiting area - through the design language of the organic forms, the floor, walls, and ceilings are connected. The whole design of the clinic embraces a fresh and haptic experience, incorporating materials that preserve their timeless characteristics and textures, such as natural limestone, travertine, ceramic, terrazzo, timber, and handmade glass, reinforcing our need of a harmonious coexistence with nature. Every curvature reflected on the walls, corners, and interior elements complement the streamlined design of the ceiling mimicking the fluidity of the changing skies outside, while the cloud-shaped lighting fixtures highlight the clinic's natural theme. Each of the treatment room designs are tailored to match the needs of beauty and sculpturing, allowing for adjustable brightness and colour temperatures, while the selection of live scented plants as embellishments add vitality and a true sense of nature to the clinic.
