About The Giving Tree クリニックのインテリアデザイン

「The Giving Tree（おおきな木）」は、鳥取県米子市にある小児科クリニックです。建物は森を思わせるようにデザインされ、壁面のパターンは樹木や山々を想起させます。一般患者と感染症患者の動線が交差しないよう、出入口とトイレをそれぞれ別に設けています。診察室は平面計画の中心に配置され、自然光を柔らかく取り込む丸みを帯えた天井が特徴です。待合室から出られるウッドデッキは、遊び場として機能します。深い軒が、夏の南側の大きな窓に日陰をもたらします。

Additionally, separate toilets are provided for each type of patient to ensure the facility is thoroughly protected against the spread of infection. There is also a wooden deck accessible from the waiting room which serves as a play area for bored children.

Design Challenge: The staff flow line was simplified by placing the examination rooms at the center of the building. The waiting room has a large window that faces south and lets in a lot of light, but in the summer, it also makes the interior hot. We were able to make the space comfortable throughout the year by lengthening the eaves. The garden is enclosed, so people can freely go out to the garden from the waiting room.
Research: To create a comfortable waiting room, we analyzed the size of the windows and the length of the eaves. We used a model to determine how light would enter the room. Our team also took into account the safety of the space by using soft materials for the walls and floor and eliminating sharp corners from the furniture. The design was created with children in mind, and we carefully considered the interior coordination. We even prepared many color samples to choose from when deciding on the final details.
Inspiration: This work was designed based on a space like a forest where people can feel cheerful and healed when they are not feeling well.The design of the waiting room in particular was created so that children and adults of different ages would feel at ease together. The interior of the waiting room in particular is warmly welcoming with wooden objects and a large window from which one can see the trees in the garden and refresh oneself.
Project Duration: The construction was finished in October 2023 in Yonago, Tottori, Japan.
Operation Flow: This pediatric clinic is well equipped with amenities for children such as washrooms diaper changing stations and nursing rooms. The building has been designed to resemble a forest with wallpaper patterns on the walls that connect the rooms and evoke images of trees and mountains. The examination rooms have rounded ceilings that allow for natural light to filter through creating a serene environment similar to sunlight coming through the trees.
