What were the advantages and disadvantages of the source? What did you see when you came to the project?
The advantage was that there was a lot of light and air, panoramic windows and high ceilings. Among the disadvantages is the complex configuration of the building, which made it more difficult to work with the planning solution.

About customers and their wishes.
The interior was created for an aesthetic medicine clinic. The customers’ wish was to create a trendy comfortable space where the clinic’s guests would feel comfortable. Also, one of the wishes of the customers was the use of natural materials, such as wood and marble, and the use of natural color shades, as this emphasizes the clinic’s values associated with the desire for natural beauty.
Redevelopment. What rooms were formed?
The layout was agreed by the local authorities: 8 cabinets, 1 common area, a manager’s office, bathrooms and other small but necessary premises have been created.
The main idea of the project.
The designer wanted to make the guests and employees feel the air of this space and make it as ergonomic as possible for them. She wanted to emphasize the philosophy of the clinic. It was a pleasure because the designer is a fan of monochrome and such a minimalist natural style.
It is actually very interesting task in my opinion, to make the interior complete and make it speaking through different materials, textures and colors.
Finishing materials, successful solutions.
Microcement on the floor and walls is probably the most successful solution that can be for large spaces! Due to the absence of seams, the floor and walls look like a single canvas, and are an ideal base for creating a design! Natural veneer and stone were also used, which helped create a visually rich interior. If we are talking about the entrance area, then everything is very monochrome there, but in the cabinets, on the contrary, we chose a very active stone pattern to add an accent.
How did the color palette come together?
The customers’ wish was to add a little muted green tint, since their pages on social networks are designed with this color and it is their signature color. That is why we have cozy green chairs in the common area.
What criteria were used to select the furniture? Most interesting items.
All the furniture is custom made. It was very difficult to find the same sofa and exactly the right chairs in the right shade. Side tables also needed an unusual shape and be made of the same material as the rest of the built-in furniture. The “showcase” with the products turned out to be very stylish.
Are there any interesting technological solutions in the project?
Screens ideally built into a niche are a very cool solution for broadcasting your services or products. Agree that it looks much cooler than a regular TV!
What are you most proud of about this project? What do you consider your greatest success?
The solution of the corridor system is worth to be noted. Since there are quite a lot of cabinets and doors, the designer wanted to leave the space clean and stylish. Therefore, hidden doors were used in the project and a dome suspended ceiling system was invented – this is an excellent solution for such a complex corridor.
