A R D 221 is a relocation and rebranding project for Skin 360 Dermatology and Laser Surgery Clinic located in Amman, Jordan.
The clinic's newly designed interior followed an experimental yet innovative design approach intended to create the resemblance of a sky-lighted green garden amidst the clinic’s foyer, transforming the dark service core of the clinic into a vital and illuminated green space generator, while implementing the same approach within the dimmed multipurpose treatment rooms for a vibrant and alleviated transformation from the conventional treatment rooms ambience.
This green garden resemblance takes the form of a free illuminated glazed box in the middle of the clinic, it penetrates the ceiling, where the spaces around have lower ones, emphasizing the feeling of the light obtaining from above, while revolving all the clinic’s room around it.
The use of translucent glass with the plantation behind and a meticulously measured light intensity was primarily conceived with the exclusive intention of adding an elusive element where one can not truly reveal what is existing behind to create an invisible depth to where it ends, and making the space looks bigger and and full of greenery.
This experiment of using the translucent glass also acts as an illusive natural light element by itself, highlighting the significance of natural light in reforming limited spaces with respect to light for a better well-being and healthier environment, as in dimmed spaces like the Laser Room and Eximia, this experiment was also implemented through creating properly sized and arranged wall openings within such rooms like washrooms. These openings resemble as well the window effect of connecting the inside to the outside while adding a greenery alleviated element.
Beside the aesthetic aspect of creating a this visual statement and a new identity to the new clinic, this small intervention can be a solution for illuminating windowless dimmed spaces we would face in any project.
