The newly designed clinic is located in Ginza, one of Japan's most prestigious districts for aesthetic medical clinics.

The project began with the client's desire to create a clinic that was different from other clinics to lay their foundation for expansion both domestically and internationally.

ALOOP CLINIC & LAB, whose slogan is "skin cure and care," provides treatment services that take advantage of the accumulated knowledge gained through research partnerships. We empathized with the idea of facing the root of skin concerns and taking an essential approach and felt that interior design should also pursue essential enrichment.

The floor plan called for a compact yet functional space, with the elevator hall serving as a lounge and a corridor running through the middle of the treatment room, simply configured with private rooms on each side. The interior was conceived in a way that maximises the quality of the materials, as well as colors of the handles, furniture upholstery, and other areas that come into contact with the skin were selected with particular care. As a result, a sense of comfort that is hard to find in existing clinics was created, becoming a space that makes people want to come back again. This is in keeping with the concept of "medicine and beauty creating a positive cycle," which is also the origin of the clinic's name.

The lounge is considered as the face of the clinic, where customers first enter. The light coming in through the windows is softened by curtains, while the plasterwork on the walls is casted with the natural light to give emphasis to the textures. The lounge sofas lined up by the windows were made in collaboration with Karimoku Furniture. The lounge sofa in the entrance lounge was designed to gently envelop the customers for them to relax after their treatment without feeling conspicuous, as well as creating a pleasant rhythm in the space. The corners of the space and the edges of the furniture are intentionally rounded to create a cohesive and soft space that sets the tone for the entire space. This has contributed to the overall hospitality that is unexpected for a clinic, and we are proud that the space is unique to our clients needs.
