AS Clinic occupies a corner unit in Barcelona’s Eixample district, near the Sagrada Família, within a complex existing geometry. The project organizes the clinic through a continuous route connecting reception, waiting areas and consulting rooms, culminating in the main consultation room.
A circular lift placed within the double-height entrance reinforces this sequence and connects the two levels. Curved walls and ceilings absorb the irregularities of the existing space and create a more fluid and welcoming atmosphere. A light material palette, soft-toned flooring, warm lighting, design pieces and art complete an interior in which functionality, natural light and comfort form part of a single experience.
The project revolves around a path that distributes the different consultation rooms and waiting areas, from the entrance to the main consultation room. These two spaces are also vertically connected by a circular elevator positioned at the double height of the entrance.
The walls and ceilings incorporate curved shapes that adapt to the existing angular geometries and solve the initial issues with an organic design. The use of white, combined with the soft colors and textures of the flooring and warm lighting, creates a welcoming atmosphere in the interior spaces. Natural light floods the reception area and the main consultation room, which overlooks the double height of the entrance.
A combination of design objects, backlit image panels, and artwork pieces complement the project. The clinic’s design, simple and effective, reflects the personality of its purpose: a beauty clinic aimed at enhancing beauty naturally and with attention to detail.
