About Epitome Diet Clinic

Epitome is a private diet clinic located in Taoyuan City, Taiwan. The 200 square meter interior occupies a traditional narrow townhouse. The layout places a central core with circulation around it, which keeps the plan clear and open. Beige gray mineral paint covers the ceiling and walls. Dark orange glass lines one side of the aisle to extend the view, and black stainless steel forms dividers and details. Aisles are wider than usual and wall corners are curved to ease movement. The clinic holds consulting rooms, a cooking teaching area, a gym and a meeting room.
