Behind the Design

Press Kit

Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.

Unique Properties: The space is unified by circular forms that symbolize genetic evolution, guiding a fluid visual flow along corridors and walls. Curved archways and rounded cabinets extend this motif, conveying a sense of continuity and gentle elegance. Inspired by the 'Ring of Genes,' the design conveys cyclic growth and renewal. A layered palette of metals, glass, lacquer, and quartz adds refinement, while dynamic lighting with LEDs and concealed strips creates dreamlike depth, balancing elegance with a futuristic atmosphere.
Dimensions & Packaging: The 528.9-square-meter space, set in a 28-year-old office building, is organized into two service counters-one for aesthetic medicine and one for general surgery-plus a laser room, four beauty rooms, a micro-plastic surgery room, and three consultation rooms. It also includes two washing/beauty rooms, an employee lounge, two operating rooms, and two recovery rooms. Clear circulation ensures hygiene and safety, while the use of blank space and a streamlined layout prevents confinement, making the clinic feel both spacious and functional.

Production Technology: Materials include high-hardness laminate on curved walls and cabinets for durability and flame resistance, while quartz stone on countertops and reception tables adds refinement and easy maintenance. Metal and glass partitions enhance brightness and modernity, and crystalline wall panels with a gray terrazzo finish are applied in wet areas for waterproofing and easy cleaning. Lighting combines track lights, strips, and localized projection to create an elegant, soft atmosphere, bringing stylish sophistication to the overall design.
Design Challenge: The main challenge lay in balancing design aesthetics with the integration of new elements into a 28-year-old office building. Building the curved walls was especially demanding, as the high-hardness laminate required repeated precision measurements and heat-shaping to achieve perfect arcs. In addition, the original layout was ill-suited for an aesthetic clinic, so the team strategically removed sections and carried out inventive renovations while maintaining structural integrity. This approach created a more spacious, efficient layout that met modern needs without compromising the building.
Research: Inspired by the brand's spirit of 'Transformation Gene,' the designer used a deep blue palette to convey stability and professionalism. Circular motifs symbolize evolution's endless cycle and beauty's possibilities, resonating with urban women's pursuit of confidence and style. The 'Ring of Genes' is expressed through curved archways, walkways, and walls, creating fluid harmony. Layered materials reveal refined details: metal and glass add futurism, lacquer and quartz bring sophistication. The result is an elegant, stylish space where visitors rediscover beauty and confidence from within.
Inspiration: In renovating the aging office, the designer drew from the brand spirit of 'Transformation Gene.' A pastel azure base conveyed stability and professionalism, while circular motifs symbolized the cycle of transformation and beauty in evolution. With urban women as the main clientele, the space exudes confidence and allure through a refined, precise atmosphere. From entry, visitors sense professionalism blended with futuristic elegance, where functionality and beauty merge, inviting each client on a journey of self-expression.
Project Duration: The project finished in December 2023 in Taiwan.
Operation Flow: Feedback from both the owner and clients was overwhelmingly positive, with many expressing surprise that the space felt more expansive than its actual 528.9 square meters. The ingenious use of ceiling height and lighting, along with a soft palette of creamy hues and deep blue, created an ambiance of exceptional comfort and high quality. Visitors appreciated how the meticulous design allowed them to feel at ease and inspired, enjoying professional aesthetic services while also experiencing a natural flow of confidence and beauty. The carefully crafted visual continuity ensured that the space never felt confined.
