Nada Clinic represents the future of the aesthetics and cosmetology industry. As such, the highlight of the Clinic is its use of high-end technology and their attention to their clients. The design scope was built to reflect this. Thus, we have utilised our specialty tactics: creating a memorable experience for the space-occupier, by engaging all their senses using meticulously curated features of the interior. The soft, curved theme emphasises the overall sensual experience. The building itself, as a corner space, provided the foundation for this concept. The space is used as a vantage point for when the clients enter the space. A flow is created through the architecture to smoothly lead people throughout the space. In order to emphasise on how special their clients are, the reception area mimics a stage; physically elevating clients to highlight their significance. The lips shaped sofa that adorns the reception area is an example of the industry-relevant and aesthetic yet also functional and engaging features that were chosen to illustrate Nada Clinic’s prominence in the field. The surfaces feature contrasting materials such as metal and lush velvety fabrics. Carefully chosen to help clients embark on their sensory journey, this pairs with the soft comforting lighting, maximised by the use of mirrors. During the sunlight hours, this feature and the floor-to-ceiling windows allow natural light to be fully incorporated into space. Curved, tactile walls complemented by circular ceiling lights gently guide the eyes (and the feet) as the occupier is organically encouraged to explore. When you enter, you want to touch these walls that not only curve in on themselves, but consist of textured curves. Contrasting these are the hard surfaces of the metallic-finished wallpapers. Thus, the lighting is not only visually stimulating, but also triggers a cinematographic effect in the way that your senses are engaged with a story being told. The pendant light descending above the refreshments cart acts as a focal point, leading you to the next “big scene” in this visuo-spatial narrative. This is just an example of how all possible venues have been utilised by our designers to achieve a tenacious and sensory adventure. As mentioned before, the space has been designed to not only engage the audio-visual senses, but all our senses to achieve one whole cohesive experience. The textures involved have been conscientiously picked with the intention of fascinating the tactile senses, while the refreshment cart serving delicacies allows the visitor to indulge their olfactory and gustatory senses. As the client is led into the treatment rooms, they may note the subtle changes in atmosphere: the slight shift to a softer, more peaceful ambience; the colour scheme favouring white and beige shades, with blue accents tying into the motifs established by the reception area. The treatment rooms are designed to focus more on the clients’ relaxation. In order to ensure minimum disruption to this “cohesive sensory experience”, utilities such as the electrical panel are cleverly disguised in “hidden backstage areas”. This includes a hidden door in the wall leading to a pantry.
