A Treatment Room Open to the Sky.

In this clinic, our primary focus was how to help patients feel truly relaxed during treatment.
The site faces a busy main road, and the surrounding three sides offer no distinctive views to embrace.

What the site does have, however, is a clear, expansive sky.
Taking advantage of the north-facing openness, we designed treatment rooms with large windows that open upward toward the sky.

This approach ensures patient privacy from the street while allowing natural light and a sense of openness to fill the space.
Rather than the typical enclosed treatment room lit only by artificial lighting, we proposed a calm and generous environment—one that removes a sense of confinement and replaces it with light, air, and quiet comfort.

診療室では、患者が治療台に横たわったときの視線の先を丁寧に検討しています。

仰向けになった際に自然と視線が北側へ向かい、安定した柔らかな光を湛える空が広がるよう、窓の位置と高さを計画しました。

北側の光は直射日光のような強い変化が少なく、均質で落ち着いた明るさを保ちます。
その安定した光環境のもとで、患者が視覚的にも心理的にも安心できる空間となることを目指しています。

閉鎖的になりがちな治療空間に、空という「抜け」を与えることで、身体だけでなく心もほぐれる環境をつくりました。

In the treatment rooms, careful attention was given to the patient’s line of sight while lying on the treatment chair.

When reclining, the patient’s gaze naturally turns toward the north-facing sky, where soft and stable natural light fills the space. The position and height of the windows were thoughtfully designed to frame this calm expanse of sky.

Northern light, free from harsh direct sunlight, provides an even and gentle brightness. Within this stable lighting environment, patients can feel both visually and psychologically at ease.

By introducing a sense of openness to the sky into what is typically a closed treatment room, the design creates a space that relaxes not only the body, but also the mind.
