Wellness Clinic Sensory Design — interior by Oui Bea

Project Highlights

  • A sensory design focused on an immersive experience of sound, touch, and smell using natural elements
  • An eco-conscious design addressing: (1) air quality, (2) energy saving, and (3) communication awareness
  • A layout to accommodate: physical training, massage, consultation, a locker room with showers and bathrooms, a lunch room, and reception area
  • A design-for-all using moving platforms, contrasting color palettes, and acoustical treatments to address the needs of disabled users

Sensory Features

  • SIGHT: Made use of dynamic, natural color choices and finishes such as emerald green, white, light wood tones, natural lighting, and changeable ambient colors for different exercises
  • SMELL: Rejuvenating, natural, clean, homeopathic scents using therapeutic essential oils
  • TOUCH: Pristine spaces with lots of attention to hygienic features, soft textures, and smooth surfaces. Appropriate to kinesiology, room temperature was designed to stay between 20°C and 23°C.
  • SOUND: Overall acoustics designed for quiet therapy with a good sound system for exercise room
  • TASTE: Always readily available: clean drinking water, fresh seasonal fruits, and snacks for a healthy mind and body

Challenges

  • Working with tight spaces and only three opening windows
  • Addressing the transformation needed for handicap access
  • Working with a very complex building environment and visibility issues
  • Incorporating sensory design into an innovative brand concept to convey minimalist beauty
