These curves , subtly reminiscent of the fluid lines of the human body , extend through the corridor leading to staff areas , conveying a sense of fluidity and movement that permeates the entire reception area where visitors wait .
A cube near the main entrance , clad entirely in bronzecolored metal panels , serves as a visually striking element in the space . Strategically placed to provide a striking contrast with the warmth of wood and delicate curves that surround it , this juxtaposition creates a unique visual balance , capturing visitors ’ attention upon entering the clinic , and guiding them toward the changing room , bathroom , and coffee area .
THE RIGHT BALANCE BETWEEN WELL-BEING AND REFINEMENT
“ Our main goal was to create a calming and bright space that helps reduce the stress experienced by patients during their visit at the clinic ,” explains Pierrick Beaulieu-Wojtowicki , project designer at Entre Quatre Murs . “ To achieve this , we made extensive use of natural light from the windows , and designed the spaces to optimize its distribution .”
Soft tones and tactile textures were carefully integrated to establish an atmosphere of calm and well-being . The designers also aimed to transcend the traditional aspect of medical clinics by introducing furniture elements with organic shapes , evoking an atmosphere that is both comforting and refined .
“ We aimed to design an environment that goes beyond the traditional medical aspect , creating an experience that soothes the senses and uplifts the spirit ,” adds Gatline Artis , the company ’ s owner . “ Every element , from curved walls to material choices , has been meticulously thought out to generate a unique synergy reflecting both the elegance of the space and the serenity it provides .”
A UNIFORM AND CONSISTENT EXPERIENCE FOR ALL
With the well-being of all clinic users at heart , the team designed the medical zones and employee spaces to seamlessly harmonize with the overall project . The main objective was to create a cohesive experience for both patients and employees within the clinic . Even spaces traditionally perceived as sterile and unwelcoming , such as operating rooms , were designed with the intention of making the experience more humane . Administrative offices and the employee lounge also received equal attention to well-being and comfort , benefiting from generous natural light and integrating a palette of bright , soft , and warm materials .
This innovative project redefines standards in the medical field by offering a unique visual and sensory experience . Thus , this aesthetic medical clinic in downtown Montreal transforms into an oasis of serenity , transporting clients into a chic , elegant , and relaxing universe .
