Best Implemented Interior Design Project for Public Space

About the project
Sonrisa Gallery Clinic with an area of 125 square meters is located on the second floor of a medical complex in Chitgar district of Tehran. During the initial visits of the project, the design team faced a rectangular plan, along with fractures on the north side, with a height restriction in the interior space due to the placement of structural and mechanical devices on the ceiling. Also, the client requested that the project should not be reminiscent of conventional medical spaces and provide a different spatial experience to its users and visitors. Therefore, we decided to explore how we can achieve a new atmosphere for the project by combining the material and color palette of a space with another usage in order to transform the audience's experience of a medical space.
Sonrisa Gallery Clinic strives to stand in the middle border of experience of combining a clinic and a gallery and invite the user to interact with itself by displaying an abstract artwork in the space.
