The main challenge for this project was to introduce a rather complex program in a relatively small area. The central concept of this proposal was to separate the public space from the clinical through an element that simultaneously allows passage and conceals it.
In a sense, the project comes down to this membrane, a huge wall made of overlapping bright white scales, perfectly undulating, strategically placed as a stage curtain parallel to the storefront that gives access to the street.
Through this element, we create a boundary between the public environment which is a space of presentation and relaxation amplified by the use of grey mirrors, and the clinical space, whose functionality is more precise and demanding, using high-performance materials that require little maintenance.
