DESIGN CONCEPT
The clinic interior use the biophilia-based design that brings maximal natural light into every single space to bring better wellness experience. Using vertical louvers behind the glass curtain walls with the bamboo-colored wall of corridors. The louvers can have 360° rotation to keep the patient’s privacy and bring rich natural light change and break down the gray corridor space, which gives people an “alive” sense when walking through. The application of vertical lines from endless bamboos, such as doors and trimmers, bookshelves, and louvers accentuates the advantages of the tall ceilings. The ceiling LED linear lights give the feeling of a breeze whispering through the bamboo forest. The interior design uses natural health materials and imagery to create a harmonic and relaxing space. Promoting health programs and the responsibility of the community.

BAMBOO: INTEGRITY / HEALTH
Bamboo is a naturally sustainable material as the primary material and inspiration of the clinic. The bamboo’s unique properties of strong, flexible, and evergreen. The bamboo forest sway with even the slightest breeze while their trunks stay rooted firmly in the ground below. The characteristics are reminiscent of integrity, tenacity, and humility. Dr. Janice Rockefeller desired to change the “Under-served Area and Population” healthcare status of the town of Winthrop. Her vision reflects the character of bamboo and gives back to the community.
