medbase - Conversion of a former sports store

At first glance, the former sports store in the heart of Weinfelden seemed unsuitable for conversion into a medical office.

The storefront and the large interior spaces with little natural light were particularly challenging.

However, a thorough examination of the architectural conditions and collaboration with the client ultimately led to success. In 2020, medbase was able to open the practice thanks to a compelling space-utilization concept.

Two design elements that emphasize the vertical axis stand out here: First, between the reception desks is a green column made of reinforcing mesh, up which philodendrons climb. Second, there are room dividers made of black-coated MDF slats that zone off the waiting areas.

The rooms are divided by delicate all-glass walls and appear light-permeable and transparent. Nevertheless, they are equipped with privacy screens, thus ensuring the necessary discretion.
