Architectural flexibility
In a 100m2 area that previously accommodated three separate professional offices, a state-of-the-art physiotherapy center has been created. The unification of these independent units into a single, cohesive high-tech space was an ambitious architectural endeavor -one that seamlessly combines functionality, openness, and a calming therapeutic atmosphere.
Design Philosophy
Developed in close collaboration with the therapist-owner, the design aimed to establish a versatile, multi-purpose facility capable of supporting a wide range of therapeutic practices and addressing the complex needs of patients. The layout includes a welcoming reception area, four treatment rooms, a specialized rehabilitation gym, and the therapist’s private office. Each space is tailored to host a distinct therapy modality -ranging from electrotherapy and hydrotherapy to counseling and targeted strength training.
Spatial Organization & Materials
Accessibility was a top priority, with wide walkways exceeding 1.5m, gently sloped entrances, and an elevator ensuring smooth movement for individuals with mobility challenges. The main treatment area features modular workstations with movable beds and equipment stored in smart, built-in cabinets -allowing for quick adaptation to different therapeutic setups. Private rooms are equipped with sound-insulating panels, offering the privacy and quiet needed for more focused, introspective therapies.
The rehabilitation gym includes specialized equipment such as balance training machines and full-length mirrors that allow patients to monitor their posture and movement. Flooring throughout is made from elastic, closed-cell materials that are both non-slip and antimicrobial. Work surfaces are crafted from antibacterial-coated quartz for easy disinfection and hygiene control. Automated treatment beds with adjustable height and tilt enhance comfort and adaptability during sessions.
Sustainability & Lighting Design
A network of integrated temperature and humidity sensors maintains an optimal microclimate across all areas. Each room benefits from natural light and ventilation, adhering to standards required for primary-use spaces. The interior design embraces a minimalist aesthetic with a dominant white palette, fostering tranquility and clarity. Individual spaces feature curated color accents, chosen for their ability to offer psychological relief and emotional comfort.
Lighting is discreet and thoughtfully placed: LED strips under cabinets provide ambient illumination, while adjustable lamps above treatment beds allow for focused lighting when needed. All construction materials were selected with sustainability and health in mind, including FSC-certified woods and VOC-free paints.
This facility is more than a physiotherapy clinic -it is a holistic wellness ecosystem. Through architectural adaptability, technological innovation, and meticulous attention to detail, it offers a restorative environment for both patients and practitioners.
