Swiss studio Dost has transformed a 1960s restaurant into a heart treatment centre in Zurich, featuring cork-lined cubicles and waiting rooms (+ slideshow).
Dost根据现有建筑的上下两层空间,重新规划了260平方米的房间和过道区域。
Dost reorganised the existing rooms and corridors of the 260-square-metre space, which is spread over two floors of an existing building in the Swiss city.
设计团队增设了一系列软木隔间和等候区,在视觉上把两层空间联系起来。
The team then added a range of cork-clad cubicles and waiting areas, intended to visually tie together the two levels.
"Carefully proportioned cubes structure the space and organise the paths for the user," said the architects. "In this fashion, a backspace with a separate entrance and a light, courtyard-oriented patient area is created."
建筑师补充道:“将等候区与急诊区分隔开,是为了减少恐惧感,同时能使人感觉减少了等待时间。”
暖色调的软木材质抵消诊所白色饰面的空旷感,丰富环境体验。
"A division of the waiting areas based on the urgency of the patient diminishes fear and promotes the feel of short waiting times," they added.
The warm-toned cork material offsets the clinical white finishes of the rest of the space, helping to create a less sterile environment.
"Natural cork provides for a comfortable sound reverberation, regulates humidity and absorbs odours," said the architects. "The resulting spaces embody the main values of the clients – care and tranquility."
Designed for the medical company Herzpraxis Zurich-Höngg and named Heart Surgery Zurich, the clinic treats patients with a range of cardiovascular conditions ranging from high blood pressure to heart disease.
除了接待处和最初的等候区外,还设置了一系列谘询及检查室,包括心脏影像及压力测试的空间。
座椅嵌入软木墙体内部,面向着庭院内楼板至顶棚的窗户,旁边白色的小桌子上放着供阅读的杂志。
Beyond the reception desk and initial waiting area, there is a suite of consultation and examination rooms, including spaces for heart imaging and stress testing.
Seating is set into a niche in the cork walls, facing floor-ceiling windows by the courtyard. Magazines are placed on small white tables alongside.
墙体的黑色壁龛空间搁置着会诊室的电脑设备。房间内部摆放着白色和浅色调的家具,窗前挂着半透明的帘子。

Inside the consultation rooms store computer equipment is stored in black wall niches. The rooms are dressed with white and pastel-toned furniture, and have translucent curtains in front of the windows.
