About the Project

Overview An expansion plan for the health checkup center "Shinjuku Oiwake Clinic," located near the southeast exit of Shinjuku Station. With the increasing number of female patients, a new floor exclusively for women, "Shinjuku Oiwake Clinic Ladies," has been opened. This clinic for women is staffed entirely by women, including doctors and nurses, and also has a powder room and a cafe-style lounge.
Issues/Themes To create a clinic that is friendly to all female patients and female staff.
Space Solution/Realization Our aim was to take in as much natural light as possible and create a bright and open floor. The blinds and partitions are shaped in a random rhythm reminiscent of a grove of trees, controlling the light that spreads throughout the interior like sunlight filtering through the leaves. Additionally, the details of the wall louvers and fixtures are designed to reflect and diffuse the indoor lighting as softly as possible. With a relaxing lighting environment as our theme, we have created a clinic that is kind to all women involved.
