The main design approach was to enhance the tenant’s space through openness and daylighting. The double loaded corridor was abandoned, which allowed the space to be open and free flowing. The design capitalized on the existing shells glazing to the east and north.
Sustainability: Daylighting strategies were developed and carried through the entire program. The goal was to reduce the electrical load and create spaces that require minimal lights to be turned on during business hours. Sun studies were performed to maximize sun in the winter, and to minimize and protect in the summer. All offices and treatment room received motion sensor lighting controls. Locally available rock and wood was used for the finishes.
The design transforms the clinical perception of a doctor’s office to one of tranquility. The feeling of containment is discarded for a sense of openness. Functions become spatial objects that patients move around and through. Visual interest is enhanced by the abundance of daylight. Shadow patterns playoff the object creating opportunities for visual stimulation. Simple everyday materials; drywall, wood slats and acrylic are combined with 3form seaweed glass panels to liven the space while adding richness to the overall composition.
