Shu Xin Clinic

Shu Xin Clinic is located in New Taipei City, Taiwan. The owner aims to create a medical facility that combines a humanistic ambiance with professional standards. The first floor serves general medical patients, while the second floor is dedicated to weight loss treatments. To distinguish between these two areas, the first floor utilizes large areas of white with wooden flooring, natural materials, and ample natural light, creating a bright medical environment.

The design on the first floor incorporates curved elements primarily to minimize patient collisions. The waiting area continues this curved motif, utilizing mirrors to enhance the spatial perception at the entrance. Curved furniture further contributes to a comfortable and warm overall atmosphere.

The restroom doors feature barn-style designs with integrated magazine racks for patient use during waiting times. Inside, dual circular mirrors create a reflective effect, directing users’ focus towards the walls and minimizing the perceived drawbacks of the restroom being located under the stairs, while echoing the curved lines seen in the exterior spaces.

The second floor differs significantly from the first. Grey carpeting on the stairs sets the tone upon entering, leading to light grey artistic paint walls. Suspended in the middle are semi-transparent curtains hung from curved iron pieces, providing privacy between the waiting area and treatment rooms. Both the curtains and furniture are movable, allowing for flexible use of space for patient participation in exercise classes or professional seminars.

Additionally, the design incorporates several detailed features such as hand-stitched leather handles on the main door, carts and side tables crafted from upcycled furniture, and foldable benches padded with eco-friendly foam, achieving both budget efficiency and adding to the spatial interest.
