Medical office

This medical office was still in the original deplorable state from 60-ties. With size 6x3.15m shared between doctor, nurse and patients there was no space left for necessary medical documentation and personal belongings. That is the reason why one of the most important tasks was to rethink the space use. Creating space with flexible separation wall allowing privacy when needed, was the natural outcome of it. Our design was strongly influenced by the necessity to keep budget as low as possible. Welcomed help was preserving and restoration of the original furniture. Walls and ceiling were painted white because of scarcity of natural light due to northern orientation and trees behind the window. Furniture is white to reflect more light and to help light distribution within the interior. Flooring is fresh green color as a contrast to the white rest of the space. Fresh green tone of the flooring enriched with pixel pattern helps to maintain fresh and optimistic appearance which is usually lacking in Slovak medical facilities. Especially in winter when patients need to feel healthier after visiting a doctor. Whole office acts as a warm beacon in dark old hospital.
