The Design

About Love Infirmary Diseño interior de un centro de salud

Love Infirmary es un centro de salud renovado dentro de una escuela primaria en Taipéi, Taiwán. El espacio original presentaba una circulación insuficiente, un interior oscuro y un almacenamiento inadecuado para el equipamiento médico. El nuevo interior sigue un enfoque biofílico, con mayor luz natural, texturas y materiales naturales, y suaves superficies curvas. Las formas circulares definen cada función, incluidos el despacho de enfermería, las camas, las salas de lactancia y el mostrador. La mayoría de las superficies cuentan con un acabado resistente al alcohol para facilitar su limpieza. La distribución ofrece a los estudiantes un recorrido claro hacia la atención médica.
