JAPAN'S BEST-DESIGNED CLINICS
Introduction
New, yet somehow nostalgic
The walls and reception that greet patients have the materials, shapes and colours of home furniture. Part of the ceiling shows the concrete structure, so you can feel the building's history.
Characterful tiles with strongly uneven glaze wrap the waiting area, examination rooms and consulting rooms in warmth.
01 · Entrance and reception
A reception like furniture
At the entrance, the textures of wood, cloth and tile overlap.
The reception combines wooden panels and the texture of cloth.
02 · Waiting area
A waiting area of tile and wood
The waiting area is wrapped in the depth of wood and soft light.
03 · Examination spaces
Wooden panels that lead you in
The quiet of the darkroom and the texture of the wooden panels lead the eye to the examination room further in.
What are nichōgake tiles?
Nichōgake tiles are long, brick-like tiles.
Rokko Nanohana Eye Clinic uses nichōgake tiles with uneven glaze from the waiting area to the consulting rooms.
