M-CLINIC is located in Hiroshima, Japan. Between a streetcar station and a river it is in urban/suburban context. There are overlapped layers neighborhood such as billboards, lamppost, electric cables, left space between street and site and outline of buildings. Its incisive presence is a landmark in this hotchpotch urban setting. This building stands on the 14-by-23-meter lot size. Site is built up except the street side. Zoning hight limit is practically 10 meters. The building holds a mixed program includes an eye clinic with a guesthouse. The lodging located on the top floor is treated like a suspended house.There are two strong and visually opposed elements: an integrally glazed part that is open to the city on the first two levels for the clinic’s reception and relaxation areas. The opaque part in silvery sheet metal that houses the clinic’s operation rooms stands by. White consoles and soffits of glazed part serve as sunshades. Their expressiveness shows the building’s vital energy. They provide the transition between interior and exterior.The building is a universe of precision, subtlety, calm and softness, whose variable transparency lets one imagine its condensed organization.2005 Good Design Awards 2005 / Japan 2006 Dedalo Minosse international prize 2005/2006 Special Prize / Italy 2006 The Chicago Athenaeum's 2006 International Architecture Award/America Photographer HIROSHI UEDA
