The design of this clinic emphasizes privacy, security, and beauty ensuring that each space has access to daylight and views from outside. For this facility, the design intention was realized by implementing a central raised clerestory above the way-finding on the interior and the use of perforated metal screens at the lower level fenestrations providing dual benefits: filtering interior daylight and providing the required unanimity of the medical clinic. Located in a blended zone of commercial and residential uses, this project’s materiality and form yield a work of architecture that is grounded in its place and makes an artful statement.

studio 2G was selected for the project based on its design team’s ability to respond sensitively to site constraints and deliver a project with a robust program on tightly confined properties that approaches zero net energy levels of performance. The community served by this new facility benefits from having an additional source of primary care and a specialty medical staff. The clinic also provides diagnostic and treatment services enabled by its laboratory, consultation room, and recovery bays.
