The main feature wall in the reception and waiting area folds to envelope a bench for patients. At the other end the wall folds out forming the reception table.

RND Diagnostic Centre

RND Diagnostics works mainly with Maritime Shipping companies, running the required fitness and medical test for seafarers. The brief and requirements for the clinics are extremely stringent. Within this framework of rules, we have created an environment that breaks away from the notions attached to a medical centre, while creating a space inspired by the folding planes of Origami. Play on space, in a very strict and sterile environment was the main focus of the project. This was achieved by not getting caught up with the constraints of only following mundane rules and regulations.

The entrance corridor unfolds into the main public waiting area.
The Reception table follows the same folded geometry while housing the accounts staff as well.
The main public space is surrounded by the various rooms that house the numerous functions that the clinic requires.
The Doctor’s cabin, pantry and waiting area furniture were also designed keeping inline with the origami theme. The use of materials were governed by the need for low maintenance and stringent hygeine needs, thus high gloss PU coated surfaces were employed.
The reflective gloss finish also helps the space appear brighter and larger. Pops of colour are seen in the custom designed "Little Red Stool".
