Visage Cosmetic Healthcare Clinic - Toronto | C& Partners Architects

The design for this clinic provided seamless integration of movement, functionality and artistry. Situated on the ground and second floor of a luxury condominium, the internal circulation was planned to offer a very discreet yet elegant entrance. The façade and structural system were designed together with the architects and engineers of the luxury condominium.

The project team visited the surgeon’s existing clinic to study his practice and aesthetic values. From the observations, the team conducted interviews and mini workshops with the doctor, office manager, anesthesiologist and registered nurses to study further about their practice needs and styles with a focus on internal movement.

The selected material palette evokes comfort; the more public ground floor was designed with natural stones and exotic wood, using book matching patterns and warm tones to express the surgeon’s idea of pursuing perfection. This same design motif is carried through to the common areas of the second floor. In the more intimate program areas, the design motif transitions into non-porous, durable and easy to clean materials with a matching colour tone.
