JAPAN'S BEST-DESIGNED CLINICS
Introduction
Contrast through sheen and reflection, not colour
Tactile materials were chosen for the walls and ceiling so that waiting time is comfortable too.
Instead of colour contrasts, contrasts of sheen and reflection give the space its rhythm. Rounded shapes without corners make it feel soft.
01 · Entrance and reception
A white rounded reception
From the entrance, a soft reception with no corners leads on.
02 · Indirect light
Keeping glare down
Lighting is mainly indirect, and downlights are kept as small as possible to reduce glare.
03 · Examination rooms
Quiet rooms with line lighting
Line-shaped indirect lighting gives the examination rooms a quiet feel. The route to the operating room was also considered.
What is glare?
Glare is the uncomfortable brightness you feel when a light comes into view.
Fukuoka Eye Clinic Nakano mainly uses indirect lighting and small downlights to keep glare down.
