Due to its location in the city center there is still some activity although part of the occupation are shops marked by successive transformations that create a palette of suburbanity.

It’s proposed an adjustment in all the infrastructures and the relocation of the bathroom which becomes a space of mediation between the waiting room and the work room.

This strategy solves the minimal use of the building features and launches the entire interior atmosphere that was only painted and added a skirting on top of the new pavement. The subdivision of the work cabins are constituted by planes that float in space allowing a dynamic use by the therapist creating a unique atmosphere of treatment.
