GRANDS PRIX DU DESIGN – 17th edition
Discipline : Interior Design
Categories : Education, Institution & Healthcare / Professional Office & Clinic : Gold Certification
Entrusted with the task of designing the new facilities for a medical aesthetic clinic nestled in downtown Montreal, our team embarked on a journey to craft an innovative setting that breathes humanity back into the medical experience. Rising to the occasion, we forged an organically inspired concept, resulting in a seamless integration of gentle contours, striking contrasts, and a palette of soothing hues.
From the moment visitors step inside, they are enveloped by the graceful embrace of curved walls adorned with ash wood slats, casting a welcoming glow throughout the space. These undulating forms, subtly echoing the lines of the human body, extend gracefully along the corridor leading to private quarters, instilling a sense of fluidity and motion that permeates the entire reception area.
Another visually striking element within the reception area is the cubic volume cloaked in panels of champagne-hued metal, strategically positioned near the entrance. Serving as a captivating focal point, it orchestrates a stunning interplay with the warm wood tones and delicate curves, creating a harmonious visual symphony that immerses visitors in an unparalleled sensory experience. This remarkable feature beckons guests as they traverse through the clinic, guiding them to the cloakroom, lavatory, and café enclave, thereby defining the clinic’s identity with its unexpected material juxtapositions and nuanced equilibrium.
At its core, our mission was to cultivate a tranquil, luminous sanctuary that aims to assuage the anxieties of patients during their visit at the clinic. To this end, natural light pours in abundantly through expansive windows, meticulously channeled to infuse every corner of the space.
Gentle hues, a play of light and tactile textures meld seamlessly to cultivate an ambiance of serenity and well-being. Moreover, our exploration ventured beyond conventional medical norms, introducing furniture elements boasting organic shapes, evoking an ambiance of solace and refinement, thus striking a delicate balance between comfort and sophistication. Each element, from the sinuous walls to the selection of materials, was curated with meticulous care, evoking a symbiotic harmony that mirrors the elegance and tranquility it bestows.
With an unwavering commitment to the welfare of all users, meticulous attention was devoted to the design of medical zones and employee quarters, ensuring seamless integration with the overall design intent. Even spaces traditionally associated with sterility and detachment, such as procedure rooms, were reimagined to foster a more humane and inviting ambiance. Administrative hubs and staff areas alike were imbued with a shared emphasis on well-being, bathed in natural luminosity and adorned with a palette of inviting textures, offering a cohesive and enriching experience for all.
By redefining the standards of medical design, our project offers a sensory experience unlike no other. Transforming the clinic into a haven of peace, it encourages visitors to embark on a journey of refinement and relaxation, where elegant sophistication meets peaceful respite.
