About the Project

Overview This is a renovation plan for the Shinjuku Oiwake Clinic, a health checkup center located near the southeast exit of Shinjuku Station. This unisex clinic floor was designed to be clearly differentiated from the women-only floor below, which opened in 2014, and to provide a more luxurious and comfortable space for patients, as well as an easy-to-work environment for doctors, nurses, and other staff.
Issues/Themes The reception area will be made larger and the examination rooms and waiting areas will be brighter to create an open and spacious health checkup center. The interior will be calming while still maintaining a sense of luxury.
Space Solution/Realization The entrance has been moved to the common area and the reception area has been expanded to create a spacious and relaxing reception space.
The layout of the examination rooms and central corridors was changed so that the sash surfaces that let in natural light become corridors and waiting areas, creating a facility where light fills every corner of the spaces used by patients.
Design for Environment Energy-saving design: All existing lighting has been replaced with LEDs, and outside light has been used as much as possible to create a highly efficient and rational lighting plan.
