The Design

About Hyangsimjae Kliniek

Hyangsimjae hanteert een holistische benadering van medische behandelingen, waarbij huisartsgeneeskunde en dermatologie worden gecombineerd. Het ontwerp is erop gericht een intieme sfeer te creëren en de arts en de patiënt te helpen een relatie van wederzijds vertrouwen op te bouwen. Daarom zijn de ruimtes zo ontworpen dat er maar een klein aantal mensen tegelijk naar binnen kan. De natuurlijke materialen, kleuren en lichtverhoudingen van het interieur stralen rust uit en het gebruik van glas en metaal geeft het gebouw een stedelijke uitstraling, terwijl tegelijkertijd de ruwe buitengevel contrasteert met het omringende stadsbeeld.

Unique Properties: Architects created an atmosphere of private area for healing and cure by limiting simultaneous access and the number of people staying there. Furthermore, they contemplated on the programs for comfort and building intimacy so that a handful of patients can take a full rest by owning and enjoying natural elements such as light during their stay in this place. What makes unique is that it is a house that treats people with all its heart like the name of Hyangsimjae means.
Dimensions & Packaging: The building area is 130 square meters.
Tags: Architecture, space, clinic
Production Technology: Exterior design targeted to make a crude and plain appearance in contrast to the chaotic city. This project worked by hand to develop a sense of coarse texture, obtaining artistic presentation. As metals and glass were applied to give an exquisite touch to its rough exterior, this place also reflects urbanism at the same time.
Design Challenge: Even though the space to focus on the treatment requires to be classical elements of conventional clinics, Architects simplified this part with a minimum of element. This is to allow patients to see the doctor’s garden and heart so that they can experience true healing and relax in an private space.
Research: Ultimately, HYANGSIMJAE Clinic becomes a private space of the doctor rather than a conventional clinic, and lets patients be truly healed and relaxed.
Inspiration: Hyangsimjae Clinic that offers advanced medical services different from conventional hospitals by combining Family medicine and Dermatology. Client needed a place to build intimacy and trust, and have communications with patients. The project concepts built sequentially by communicating and sharing ideas, goals or the future that our client’s desire to purse in this place.
Project Duration: The project located in Daegu, Republic of Korea. It was finished in 2019.
Operation Flow: Circulation planning starts by opening the tightly closed gate and entering this private place very slowly along the garden. This place welcomes the patients with its air of time such as a nature, weather and the lights. it was also important to place uniqueness of HYANGSIMJAE Clinic to where the patients see first when they visit the clinic. To do so, Kitchen was arranged to be near the entrance. This kitchen is the area where doctor’s hope to share with her patients is first displayed.
