Nishi-Shinjuku Parkside Clinic — a waiting area in glass, like a park

Nishi-Shinjuku Parkside Clinic is a clinic for diabetes and endocrinology on the 3rd floor of a building next to a city park. Step out of the lift and you are in a space about 2 metres deep, surrounded by glass that opens wide to the city; the waiting area is set there. It was designed by Tomoyuki Kurokawa Architects. Everything below is based on the designer's official page and the clinic's official website.

Introduction

Not only for waiting, but for spending time freely

The waiting area was planned as a park-like place, not only for waiting but for reading or watching TV as you like.

Because it is shallow, you can see inside from the street even though it is on the 3rd floor. How see-through the glass looks changes with the time of day.
