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.
