"We designed a clinic that resembles a house, featuring a series of small gabled roofs scaled to children's proportions."
"Since both children and their parents visit the clinic, we wanted to create a space considerate of both."
Design Associates Nakamura designed Omura Children's Clinic to resemble a house, using a series of small gabled roofs scaled to children's proportions. The gabled roof sequence produces a domestic, non-institutional silhouette that reduces clinical intimidation and signals approachable scale. Interior planning accommodates both children and their parents, organizing waiting and treatment areas to balance playful scale with functional circulation. Material choices and detailing emphasize warmth and tactile surfaces appropriate for young users. The overall design prioritizes comfort, legible space, and family-centered care through human-scaled elements and a residential vocabulary.
