About the Project
| Overview | This large blood donation room is located on the upper floors of the Hankyu Grand Building, offering a panoramic view of Umeda, the center of Osaka. This project aimed to create a facility where blood donors and staff could all feel comfortable, while also taking on new challenges to attract the next generation of blood donors. |
|---|---|
| Issues/Themes | To propose a safe and comfortable space to accommodate the increasing number of blood donors every year. To create a topical facility that will attract repeat blood donors and new donors (younger people). |
| Space Solution/Realization | We considered an open layout that would draw in the panoramic views that are a characteristic of the facility, and incorporated a design that aims to ease the tension of the blood donation experience based on the concept of a "villa in the sky." Spatial Production generate interest in blood donation, we introduced Video content featuring characters and a large entrance objet d'art. |
| Design for Environment | Universal design: To allow wheelchair users to pass through safely, the aisles on the grounds are designed to be wider than the width stipulated in the blood donation guidelines. |
