About the Project

Overview This beauty clinic, offering cosmetic surgery, plastic surgery and cosmetic dermatology, has relocated to the basement floor of a building directly connected to Azabu-Juban Station. The design takes advantage of the high ceilings of the space to create a relaxing space for the women who visit, mainly from urban areas. As a clinic that values dialogue between patients and their doctors, the space combines kindness and elegance, making it suitable for providing heartfelt service and cutting-edge cosmetic medicine.
Issues/Themes Taking advantage of the high ceilings that are unique to the space of the former theater, we created a design that stands out from other beauty clinics. We also devised a flow of movement to prevent patients from crossing paths with each other.
Space Solution/Realization Based on the design concept of "Blooming," a symbolic corridor space was created as the main route for patients to move around. Graphics evoking the image of Blooming are applied to the ceiling, and together with the soft light of indirect lighting, the space is Spatial Production to relieve tension for patients. The corridor space is designed to be an oval-shaped circulation route, which avoids one-way traffic, while also allowing patients to be attended to as little as possible without crossing paths.
Design for Environment Universal design: We have ensured that aisles and doors are wide enough for wheelchair users to pass through, and we have also installed multi-purpose toilets. We have striven to create a design that is friendly to everyone.
