Located in Saldanha, on the ground floor of a residential building, this two-storey commercial space was characterized by a relatively narrow glass façade. With its organic shapes and dry pink color, this beauty clinic is inspired by the body. The centrally located access door defined the symmetrical organizational structure of the entrance floor.


In order to guarantee natural light for the medical offices, they were located on the sides of the facade. The location of these two offices defined a corridor that culminates in a central circular hall where the reception is located. This multifunctional central space is characterized by a large, vaulted ceiling that merges with the walls, setting the tone for the aesthetics of the space.


At its edges we located an informal space for aesthetic analysis separated by a curtain, guaranteeing the necessary privacy.


The staircase to floor -1, located at the top opposite the facade, provides access to a second waiting room that supports two offices for more technically specific treatments. The rest of the space is reserved for the technical support areas needed to run the clinic.

Localizada em Saldanha, no rés do chão de um edifício de habitação, este espaço comercial de dois pisos caracterizava-se por uma fachada em vidro relativamente estreita. De formas orgânicas e cor de rosa seco, esta clínica de beleza inspira-se no corpo. A porta de acesso localizada ao centro, definiu a estrutura organizacional simétrica do piso de entrada.


De forma a garantir iluminação natural para os gabinetes médicos localizamo-los nas laterais da fachada. A localização destes dois gabinetes definiu um corredor que culmina num hall central circular onde se localiza a receção. Este espaço central de caracter multifuncional, caracteriza-se por uma grande abobada que se funde com as paredes, dando o mote para a estética do espaço.


Nos seus limites surge um espaço informal de analise estética separado por uma cortina garantindo a privacidade necessária.


A escada de acesso ao piso -1, localizada no topo oposto à fachada, garante o acesso a uma 2ª sala de espera que dá apoio a dois gabinetes com tratamentos de maior especificidade técnica. O restante espaço é reservado às áreas de apoio técnico necessárias ao funcionamento da clínica.
