Abstract [en]

The objective of this project is to challenge the traditional interior design of

gynaecologist clinics and develop a fresh and innovative concept that enhances the

overall experience for patients. By utilising colour, material, and form, this interior

concept aims to transform the perception of healthcare facilities, ultimately improving

the well-being and comfort of patients during gynaecological visits.

To exemplify a different, more welcoming and safe environment, my experiments

have involved using colour, material and form, as well as purpose designed chairs for

the waiting room as well as the examination rooms, respectively. Besides this I have

explored distractive elements during the patients’ examination.

The design process for this project involved conducting qualitative research and

studying existing gynaecologist clinic designs, patient experiences, and current trends

in healthcare environments. Valuable insights has been gathered through interviews

with healthcare professionals and patients, which helped identify areas for potential

improvement. Additionally, the project explored the use of innovative design

techniques, materials, and spatial configurations that foster a sense of privacy, and well-

being.

The design process also involves the development of design sketches and digital

visualisations to aid in the visualisation and refinement of the interior concept. By

utilising all design elements, the concept aims to create a health-promoting experience

that ensures a safe, pleasant, and welcoming environment for both patients and staff.
