Contemporary Interpretation of Clinical Design by Iglo Architects
Iglo Architects, an Istanbul based design studio, designed the new clinic of Plastic Surgeon Dr. İlker Apaydın. The design studio changes the standard clinical perception at the new clinic, with the use of different colors together with fluid forms.
An affordable and impressive design from Iglo Architects created by rational solutions. Plastic Surgeon Clinic of Dr. Apaydin designed by Iglo Architects is an effective and colourful way to re-interpret an existing plan to the clinic; is located in a 250 square meter apartment in Terrace Fulya, Istanbul. This impressive interior space was achieved just by the colouring on the walls, the graphical arrangements on the carpets and the design of several furniture and illumination elements.
This space is completed with smooth curved structures, warm material elements, vivid colors, and cute highlighted shapes to capture the attention of children visiting the dentist, and to reassure them so that they can come again.
The entire structure was covered with natural oak-wood as the main material, unlike the general ambience of white colors as base.. The structures wrapped in oak-wood on a smooth curve is contrasting the vivid colors highlighted. These are used to blow life into the atmosphere.
To give friendly feelings to children, elements shaped of circles, stars, and house were appropriately decorated in the space.
This project was to expand and relocate an orthodontic dentistry, which has been in Jeonju for 25 years, to a larger scale. It has as much number of patients as it’s history and fame, and so it required symbolism in accordance with the recognition.
Zaha Hadid Architects working with TPO Pride Architects (Russia) have been selected as one of the consortiums to build the new Rublyovo-Arkhangelskoye neighbourhood.
The jury of the invited competition also selected two further consortiums to develop the project: Nikken Sekkei (Japan) with UNK Project (Russia); and Archea Associati (Italy) with ABD Architects (Russia).
The site is a long shape facing the 4-lane highway on the north side and 4 meters wide on the south side, giving void to the townscape along these roads. The plan described here is building a dental clinic specializing in aesthetic dentistry and pediatric dentistry here.
Considering the empiric position of the patient, we feel that a dental clinic should be abele to contain various parts according to the different activities. For example, reception → waiting → tooth brushing corner → treatment room → X-ray → treatment room → waiting → payment. In order to translate the act of movement into the structure of architecture itself, we considered each rooms of the clinic as the destinations and transposed “→” into an aisle connecting them together. Specifically, in order to conform to the directionality of the site, a long aisle is set at the center of the building, and necessary rooms that become destinations are arranged on both sides of the building. In the aisle, processing was done on the ceiling surface by whitening the surface deceives the human perception of the real size of the room and ends as a door that allows us to feel the extensibility of the space. As a result, the whole planned as a sensory outside space where the state of light changes throughout the day. The sensory outside which changes according to the natural light installed in the center of the building has connection with each room, thereby preventing excessive consideration on privacy from which leads to a sense of limitation.
When Audax was approached to design the new location of Face Cosmetic Surgery, the owner was looking for a design unlike anything the industry had seen. The mandate was to design a space that felt more like a hotel lobby than a clinic.
To achieve this objective, Audax looked beyond the conventional design standards used in similar clinics across the globe.
“FACE provided a unique design opportunity as it challenged our preconceived expectations of what a clinic should look like,” says Gianpiero Pugliese, Principal of Audax.
This project clearly establishes a two-way dialogue between the clinic and the square facing it.
Large, vertical, butt-joint glazed window panes without intermediate profiles flood the interior with a diffused northern light and completely open up the façade, allowing for the interior ceiling’s volumetric “game” – formed of prismatic shapes in shades of blue and white – to be viewed from the outside.
Located within a commercial complex, Go Orthodontistes clinic is accessible by a long hallway, which serves as a passageway between the exterior commercial complex and the carefully crafted universe that lies within.
In order to create a cohesive space of total design, it was necessary to conceive the interior space simultaneously with the elements of industrial design. The wood slats inform all interventions and the open layout, with its curved surfaces and reveals, mitigates confusion, favouring openness.
The New York—based architectural firm Pei Cobb Freed & Partners has been selected to design a major expansion to IESB Brasilia, an international university based in Brazil’s capital, that will more than double the size of the campus with new facilities and open space.
IESB’s inward-focused existing campus will be transformed by an L-shaped complex featuring a new academic allée and a generous entry precinct with facilities that serve both the university and the public.
“Although the last years we have been focusing on projects related to hospitality and retail, we also like to face new challenges designing other projects like for an office space or in this case a dental clinic”, per Christophe Penasse, founder of Masquespacio.
