Designed more as a spa than a hospital, this healthcare clinic, located in the town center of a traditional neighborhood development, is designed to support non-traditional medical practices such as acupuncture and massage therapy, as well as traditional well- and sick-patient care. Divided into two spaces, the soft palette of materials and colors provides a calm and unobtrusive backdrop for the light filled views of the neighboring harbor. A curved translucent spine, the primary design element of the clinic, defines the corridors and suggests a separation between care rooms and offices.
