  • Hospitality Spaces
  • The reception area of the health check area: A monochromatic space with white wood and black as the main tones, based on the theme of an "atelier for the body" where people can get in touch with their own bodies.

  • Male health check-up waiting room: The flow of traffic and the functions of each room have been organized, and this has been reflected in the direction of the flooring, the color of the walls, and the signage plan.

About the Project

Overview This health checkup and medical examination facility opened on the 5th floor of JP Tower Nagoya, a floor of approximately 2,000m2. It is a preventive medicine complex that also has an outpatient clinic and provides cutting-edge medical services. In a calm, chic design space, we aim to be a clinic that can be visited casually on a daily basis, even outside of corporate health checkups.
Issues/Themes The facility houses a variety of uses, including male and female health checkups, common areas, and an outpatient clinic, but our goal was to create a layout and various functions that would allow efficient operation while still separating these areas.
Space Solution/Realization With the exception of some tests, the waiting room and examination areas are separated by gender, allowing patients to undergo health checkups in a stress-free and comfortable environment. There are multiple levels of boundaries separating the male and female examination areas, the common area, and the outpatient clinic, and these are made up of large sliding doors that can be normally open or normally closed. The size and functionality of each area can be adjusted to suit the needs of the day.
Design for Environment Healthy design: We use F☆☆☆☆ certified materials that do not contain formaldehyde.
Universal design: The reception counter and aisle dimensions are designed to be wheelchair accessible. Guide signs and signs for each room are large and easy to understand, with careful consideration given to visibility.
