Design Details
- Unique Properties
- Located in Beverly Hills, Simonmed Diagnostic Imaging Clinic reimagines a medical environment through calm, sculptural design. Curved seating, textured plaster walls, and soft lighting create a hospitality-inspired atmosphere that reduces anxiety and enhances comfort. Neutral tones and organic materials establish visual harmony, while precise detailing supports efficient workflow and patient privacy.
- Inspiration
- The design was inspired by the need to humanize diagnostic spaces through calm, hospitality driven environments. Research into patient psychology and healthcare design revealed that natural tones, curved forms, and layered lighting reduce stress and promote ease. Studies on spatial comfort guided the balance between efficiency, privacy, and visual softness, creating a serene medical experience.
- Research
- This applied design research aimed to enhance patient wellbeing in diagnostic environments. Using spatial analysis, behavior observation, and staff interviews, data was collected on stress triggers and movement flow. Digital modeling and lighting simulations supported iterative testing. Results revealed that natural materials, curved forms, and warm lighting improved comfort, privacy, and overall user satisfaction.
- Challenge
- The main challenge was transforming a high tech diagnostic clinic into a warm, human centered environment while meeting strict healthcare codes. Balancing medical precision with emotional comfort required coordination between technical systems, lighting, and materials. Limited ceiling height and equipment constraints demanded creative detailing to integrate technology seamlessly within a calming spatial experience.
- Realization and Technology
- The design was realized through digital modeling and coordinated fabrication to achieve seamless precision. Non structural partitions of 100 mm metal studs with gypsum board define spatial rhythm. Custom millwork integrates LED lighting, plumbing, and storage. Finishes include micro cement flooring, textured plaster walls, and bronze painted accents, balancing hygiene, durability, and refined tactility.
- Operation and Interaction
- Visitors enter a softly lit reception that immediately establishes calm. The curved layout guides patients naturally from check-in to waiting and diagnostic zones without confusion. Lighting and textures subtly change to signal transitions, supporting both comfort and efficiency. Every space interacts with users gently, reducing stress and creating a seamless healing experience.
- Project Duration and Location
- The project commenced in September 2025 in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, California. The design development phase emphasized spatial optimization, technical detailing, and material coordination, followed by comprehensive documentation and construction through the autumn months. Completion was achieved in December 2025, resulting in a 4,334 square foot diagnostic clinic defined by precision, calm, and refined spatial clarity.
- Specifications
- The 4,334 sq ft project includes non structural interior partitions built with 100 mm stud walls and gypsum board, integrated lighting, electrical, and custom cabinetry measuring 600 mm D × 900 mm H. Interior finishes emphasize durability and hygiene with refined detailing. The layout follows ISO standards for circulation, accessibility, and ergonomic patient-care flow, ensuring both efficiency and comfort.
