“Due to the intricately shaped space, which is vertically interwoven with inclined load-bearing columns and where you can hardly find a flat wall, we emphasized at the same time the simplicity and the imaginativeness of the surfaces and wallcovering. The verticality of the interior cladding is a reaction to the facade of the MPP building by DAM architects. We repeated all these principles and materials in modified forms throughout the interior to achieve a harmonious whole“.

Dark tones and smooth screed on surfaces together with daylight significantly underline the playfully modeled space, while we left the nurse’s and the doctor’s office in soft light shades that do not distract the visitor. 

“A separate circular cell (doctor’s office) is inserted into the entrance foyer, which also serves as a waiting room. The reception with the nurse is located at the entrance and the main part of the whole area, with a total area of 155 m2, is the so-called SPA, with Finnish sauna, cryosauna, air therapy and lockers. The color itself defines the content. Sauna as fire (red), cryosauna as ice (blue) and air flow as wind (gray). We continue with the principle of a vertical grid in the SPA section, where we lined each of the three main rooms with clear glass rods on gradient SDK partitions with gradient screed“.
