Introduction
Scattering “yuragi” through a clinic-like space
A layout that simply lines rooms up in straight lines is functional, but can also feel curt and cold.
So small and large variations are scattered through it: a gently waving ceiling, soft daylight through fabric, board finishes and slightly uneven tile joints.

A look that changes with the time
Daylight from the windows changes through the day.
With the ceiling lights off, the daylight stands out.

What is yuragi?
Yuragi means slight irregularities or variations in shape, light or material, which link to the comfort found in nature.
Osaka Tanimachi Yorioka Clinic brings yuragi into its ceiling shape, light and tile joints.
