About Lux Linea Disenyo ng Interior ng Klinika ng Ophthalmology

Ang Lux Linea ay isang klinika ng ophthalmology sa distrito ng Shibuya sa Tokyo, Japan. Ang klinika ay may kabuuang built area na 250 metro kwadrado at may floor plan na hugis right trapezoid. Ang dalawang gilid nito ay ganap na salamin, at ang maliwanag na liwanag ng araw ay lumilikha ng mga repleksyon na nagtatago sa interior. Ang mga naiilawang transparent na panel ang sagot sa problemang ito. Ang mga panel ay mga acrylic sheet na may nakalimbag na tuwid na mga linya at inilalawan sa mga gilid ng LED tape. Ang mga salamin sa kisame at mga dingding ay inuulit ang mga linya ng liwanag. Ang mga panel na inilagay sa tabi ng mga upuan sa waiting area ay nagbibigay din ng privacy sa mga pasyente.

Production Technology
The space was created using drywall techniques and mostly finished in wall cloth.
The light panels are produced using transparent acrylic sheets with an inkjet printed pattern of straight lines. The edges of the panels are illuminated using LED tapes. The light travels through the inkjet pattern creating the illumination effect. The panels and by extension the light lines are duplicated vertically and horizontally using mirrors on the ceiling and walls.
Design Challenge
The clinic operates mostly during daytime, when the bright daylight reflects on the glass, obstructing visibility to the inside. To counter this effect, a series of intriguing vertical lines of light are emitted from the inside attracting the curiosity of the passerby and creates a futuristic lightscape that reflects the doctors cutting edge approach to technology and human sight.
Research
Luxlinea is a response to two main challenges. The first one is related to the two facades that are completely glazed. This creates reflections during bright daylight that obstructs the vision toward the interior. But also, the need to connect the interior to its urban environment. The second challenge is the space symbolic and representation. The doctor conducts surgeries using cutting-edge technologies. The space had to be a showcase for the medical advancement.
Inspiration
The design was inspired by Shibuya districts iconic light scene and urban environment. The design was also inspired by kaleidoscopes and their reflective effects. And thirdly the design was inspired by the high tech capabilities of the doctors operating in this clinic. The intersection of these three factors gave birth to the immersive spatial experience that is not only offered to the users of the clinic but also to the passers by and the city dwellers.
Project Duration
Project start: August 2022.
Construction starts: December 2022.
Project/Construction End: April 2023.

Location:
Shibuya, Tokyo, Japan.
Operation Flow
The floor plan is shaped as a right trapezoid, with the entrance and reception counter placed on its smaller corner and taking advantage of the two glazed sides. The waiting chairs are arranged along the glass facade separated by a series of transparent panels. These panels are illuminated in vertical lines pattern providing privacy and protection to patients. The more light-sensitive examination and treatment rooms are set in the inner area of the clinic.
