The Design
About The OmniDirectional Interna Medicino Kliniko
La OmniDirectional estas interna medicinkliniko situanta en japana antaŭurba urbo de Hyogo-prefektejo. La kerno de la kliniko estas la endoskopioĉambro, nature metante ĝin en centran pozicion kaj space kaj funkcie. La enirejo donas rekte al la centra akso de la atendoĉambro, finiĝante en la akceptejo sekvita per vitra malfermaĵo kiu ekspozicias la endoskopioĉambron. La materialeco de la kliniko ankaŭ ludas esencan rolon por elstarigado de la endoskopioĉambro kiel la kerno de la konstruaĵo kontrastante la materialecon de la ekstero, interno, kaj la endoskopioĉambro.

- Unique Properties
- The Omnidirectional is an internal medicine clinic designed to emphasize the specialty of the doctor, the endoscopy. The building is constructed using wooden structure in a standard Japanese grid. The endoscopy room occupied the center of the clinic both spatially and functionally and was made visible from the waiting room through a glazed wall behind the reception counter. The square shape of the clinic was placed laterally and its sides in stairs form resulting in a unified appearance.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- Gross Built Area: 203sqm

- Production Technology
- The building is constructed using wooden structure in the form of a standard Japanese grid. To make the contrast between the interior and the exterior, the outside was covered in a newly created fiber cement panels. The interior walls were made using OSB panels and kept without any finish to create the warm wooden atmosphere. The floor was made using vinyl tiles with the same OSB motif printed. The endoscopy room was finished in white wallpaper and vinyl floor.
- Design Challenge
- The biggest challenge for this project was the very tight budget limiting the use of materials to the simplest and cheapest ones. The wooden structure was chosen as the most affordable construction system, followed by using OSB panels as a solution for using the cheapest product, unfinished and yet give character to the space. then the challenge was to counterbalance the OSB aesthetic with other materials both outside and inside, and how this would help emphasizing the endoscopy room.
- Research
- The research in this project was mainly focused on finding the possibilities to highlight the endoscopy room as the center piece of the clinic. The relationship between the different entities functionally and spatially, and how the ensemble could merge in a unified space. the research goes further into employing materiality to achieve aesthetic but also functional roles. How to make space transition using materiality and yet keeping the unity and coherence.
- Inspiration
- This design was inspired by the central functionality of the endoscopy in the doctor method, while compared to the geometrical properties of a square. The operational diagram makes clear connections with the disposition of spaces and the functional relation between each of them.
- Project Duration
- Project start: August 2019.
Construction start: February 2020.
Project/Construction End: July 2020.
Location: Taishi, Hyogo Prefecture, Japan. - Operation Flow
- The entrance gives directly to the center of the waiting room where the reception desk is located. The endoscopy room visible through glass separation located behind the reception occupies the central part of the space. the waiting space gives to the examination area to the right and the treatment area to the left. these two spaces are both connected through the endoscopy room and through the backyard behind making a full space circulation.
