Design Details
- Unique Properties
- Amid downtown, converged at traditional food markets and financial hubs, Songshan district of Taipei city, contrary to common storefronts at the ground floor, Cha-Mi Chinese Medicine clinic is situated at the third story of the building, providing higher privacy to patients. Within 495 square meter of space, the interior comprises consulting rooms, the dispensary, VIP therapy rooms, and laboratories.

Away from redundant colors, clean white backdrops and woodworks in oak took minimal usage of material, resonating calm ambiance. Light freely transmits through three elevations of heights, which better illumination condition and create enticing visuality.
- Operation and Interaction
- Every well-rounded hospital concerns a safety issue of avoiding excessively long passage between consulting rooms, which easily causes blind spots and is unfriendly to the elders. How to configure appropriate passages for patients thus becomes the first concern of this project. Inspired by the contour of satellite, disperses routes of therapy rooms and re-merges with registration and dispensary sections forms a centralized-circle layout; in other words, the master-planning forges centralization by decentralization of regular compartmental layout.
