Kyoto Ekimae Cosmetic Surgery is on the ground floor of an office building a 5-minute walk from Kyoto Station. It keeps as much clear glass as possible so the interior can be seen from outside and becomes part of the building's front. It was designed by Takara Space Design. Everything below is based on the designer's official page and the clinic's official website.

Introduction
Turning an intricate plan into a lane
The plan is intricate, with many small private rooms for counselling and surgery. The corners of the rooms seen from the corridor are rounded in a row, creating the feel of a lane.
Floors and walls are in a single beige tone for a calm, refined space.

An “R” is a rounded corner; the name comes from R for radius.
