About Essencare 美容医療クリニック
台湾・桃園にある美容医療クリニックは、歴史的な製粉工場からインスピレーションを得て、産業遺産を再解釈しています。大きな柱と豊かな緑を特徴とし、人と自然の調和を育みます。中央のパティオは、太陽光が差し込むことで垂直の森のような雰囲気を創出し、季節の変化を反映します。エントランスのウォーターリップル装置と機械式ライトチューブが水中のような効果を生み出します。このデザインは、訪問者が都市の記憶の中に聖域を見出すことができる有機的で移ろいゆく空間を創造し、過去の物語と調和的な未来を融合させています。

Behind the Design

- Unique Properties
- To encapsulate the urban memory of Taoyuan, an industrial hub in Taiwan, this project "reimagines" the essence of industrial remnants within the space, specifically referencing a historic flour factory with large columns, reflective of the city’s past landscape. By integrating a strategic patio, sunlight floods the interior, transforming it into a vertical forest that embodies the rhythms of the seasons and the passage of time.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- The long side of the site is 20.5 meters long and 7.4 meters wide, with a total area of 140 square meters.

- Production Technology
- At the entrance, a Water Ripple Device features a metallic plate that refracts light and shadow, creating an ethereal underwater ambiance. Inside, expansive "mechanical water ripple light tubes" simulate cascading waterfalls, immersing visitors in a transcendent aquatic experience.
- Design Challenge
- The primary challenge lies in crafting an organic migratory experience within a constrained space. While it is essential to "reproduce" the cylindrical form emblematic of industrial ruins, this must be achieved without overt visual prominence. Each area will present a distinct landscape, facilitating free movement and exploration, allowing individuals to discover hidden spaces that resonate with their inner moods.
- Research
- In the context of the "post-human era," aesthetic medical clinics must prioritize the creation of immersive spatial experiences. This project not only preserves the memory of an industrial city but also redefines it through a new narrative, constructing a hyper-realistic environment that resonates with urban heritage.
- Inspiration
- Emerging trends in medical aesthetics have reshaped East Asia, intertwining futuristic narratives of the "post-human" with daily life. This design draws from the concept of the "post-human era," envisioning how a medical aesthetic clinic in a post-industrial city can evoke the collective memory of its surroundings, turning the clinic into a prologue for post-human exploration.
- Project Duration
- The project started in July 2024 and finished in November 2024 in Taoyuan.
- Operation Flow
- This project juxtaposes two distinct forms of industrial remains. The first, the "large column," serves as a sanctuary for rest and privacy, while the second, the "small column," is enlivened by the encroachment of wild flora. This dichotomy invites a dialogue on the harmonious coexistence of humanity and nature within the narrative of the post-human era.
