About the Project

Overview This clinic was established in Konohana-cho, near Kanazawa Station. The first floor was a former residence that was renovated into an internal medicine clinic that offers health insurance treatment, while the second floor is an infusion therapy clinic that offers private treatment. Our company was in charge of the interior and some of the exterior renovations. We made the most of the presence of the dignified detached house and blended it into the internal environment.
Issues/Themes Although it is a medical facility, our goal was to create an environment where visitors could feel comfortable and relaxed, within a limited floor space while maintaining all basic functions.
Space Solution/Realization The design was based on the concept of a "gallery" that caters to each individual. The exterior has a simple and stylish form that makes the most of the elegant atmosphere of the location. For the interior, we verified the structure of the building to allow for flexibility in the layout, put in ingenuity into the colors and lighting, and incorporated motifs of trees and small birds to create a relaxing space that makes visitors feel more spacious.
