With their latest completed project ‘NC Clinic’, Onur Karadeniz Architects have created a space intended to be used as a clinic, education centre and office. The space is once used as an architectural office with an open office plan with no walls. The client requested to divide the inner space into two offices, photography, a meeting and three surgery rooms. Henceforth, the open office plan is divided into three parts collected around at an entrance lobby. At the right are offices and at the back, the general amenities, while on the left are the clinic rooms.
Curved space is designed to disguise the limits of the rectangular office to convey an atmospherically feeling that implies curiosity of its users and alters the perception of the size of the actual area. These curved corridors and their entrances are also designed in a way that no one will pass in front of the room door unless that one they don’t use. Therefore, the space itself directs its users directly without any hesitation and question from the client making them feel safe in a clinic.
Secondary triangular skin is designed and overlaps the circular walls creating tension and breaking the monotone circularity of the verticality of the walls. These circular and triangular surfaces continue through the ceiling creating a monolithic and carved up space. This helps to integrate indirect lighting while destroying one eye conventional perspective.
