Introduction
Bright and gentle
Because many patients are older, a bright and gentle space was wanted.
The 2nd floor is for general consultations; the 3rd is used for Pilates and similar activities.
01 · Reception
Hiding with a wooden lattice
A wooden lattice behind the reception turns the steel door of a pipe shaft into part of the design.
02 · Rehabilitation
Opening up for a larger space
Open the lattice partitions and the rehabilitation space on the 2nd floor becomes a larger, flexible room.
03 · Consulting rooms
Bright consulting rooms
The consulting rooms are also finished in bright colours.
What is a pipe shaft?
A pipe shaft is a vertical space in a building that carries water, gas and other pipes, with doors for inspection.
This clinic hides the steel door of a pipe shaft behind a wooden lattice at the reception.
