embryocare clinic_new design by mabarchitects 2

A gynecological clinic specialized in assisted reproduction required new premises. They acquired a 200sqm flat in downtown Athens, in an area where most of the apartments have already been converted into offices, health centers and similar programs.
The entire flat was gutted including all installations. The concept was to provide cool but friendly clinical environment. The predominant color is white with just few sculptural pieces of furniture in summer-sky blue. The choice of materials with cellular structures is a reference to the nature of the work performed in this surgery. Partitions and wall claddings are made of special translucent sandwich panels, made of two sheets of Perspex and the in-between gap, which is filled with plastic straws of different diameters. The material provides extraordinary effects and changes translucency depending on the viewpoint. White round mosaic tiling is covering all floors and occasionally the same surface splashes also over walls. Glossy white plaster ceiling is randomly pierced by seemingly floating circles of light or circular air vents. All furniture and fittings were carefully chosen to enhance the overall appearance.
The hi-flying doctors and their patients are praising the new glamorous environment. Hopefully this positive spirit will help them in assisting more women to conceive a baby.

The new publication by Braun “Collection: Landscape Architecture” featuring our project “RoofGarden”, will be in your nearest bookstore in August!
Collection: Landscape Architecture_ by BRAUN
Landscape architecture creates and shapes open spaces for human beings. It combines nature and architecture and links grown and planned environments. It depends on local factors such as the climate, type of soil, as well as varying local traditions much more than structural design.
Collection: Landscape Architecture presents the whole wealth of this fascinating sector featuring 180 projects around the world – from the classic fields of horticulture and park design, to LandArt and urban outdoor design, which make do without grass and trees entirely, up to the current ecological themes of interior gardens and façade greening.
