Design Details

Unique Properties: When you pass through the entrance curtain, you will see a small garden with stone lanterns and gravel, giving the appearance of a high-class Japanese inn. The ceiling, walls and floor are composed of subdued colors such as gray and black, and the wood grain on the walls adds a pleasant sense of sexcent.
Inspiration: This clinic is designed to resemble a luxury inn. It is located on the first floor of a building in Osaka's business district. The clinic has soothing background music and incense burning, creating a very relaxing space, making it a popular destination for many businessmen and tourists from overseas.
Research: The design of many chiropractic clinics in Japan is inorganic and simplified, and they are places that simply aim to heal the body, but this place is different. The aim is not only to heal the body, but also to heal the mind. To this end, the space design is based on a clear concept, and the space is reminiscent of a Japanese inn. At first glance, it does not look like a chiropractic clinic, so people who visit this place without knowing anything about it will probably be surprised and impressed.
Challenge: Chiropractic clinics with a design like this Japanese inn are very rare, and for that reason, many overseas tourists also visit. In addition to the purpose of healing the body, it is also to enjoy the Japanese space. It is also a place where you can catch a glimpse of Japanese culture.
Realization and Technology: Ceiling : cloth / Wall : wood , cloth / Floor : carpet, pvc tile , gravel
Operation and Interaction: In addition to the base lighting in the entrance and the passageway to the treatment rooms, there is also indirect lighting in various places, and the light and dark of the lighting is designed in a systematic way. There are four treatment rooms, all of which are private rooms. Compared to the entrance and passageway, the lighting is dimmer. This is to allow customers to relax, and they can heal their tired bodies while smelling incense and listening to Japanese background music in a dimly lit space.
Project Duration and Location: Project Duration : From December 2023 to February 2024 Project location : Osaka(Japan)
