Introduction
Widening what a reception means
The reception was given more roles — counselling, learning and a café-like place to rest — in a plan that is easy to walk around.
The rooms needed are gathered around the edges, and the theme colour, green, is placed where the eye stops or where you stay a while.
01 · Approach
A straight staircase
A straight approach staircase invites people walking along the street.
02 · Reception
A green counter
The reception is a counter in the theme colour, green.
03 · Ceiling
Painting a low ceiling black
The existing ceiling, lower than usual, was kept and painted black so its height is less noticeable.
What is an invited competition?
In an invited competition, the client names a few design firms, asks each for a proposal, and chooses one.
The design of ELM CLINIC Omotesando was chosen in an invited competition.
