A Parisian medical practice transformed into a haven of peace

For the renovation of this medical practice in the heart of the 17th arrondissement of Paris, our first intention was to create a profoundly human place, where every patient — and in particular women going through ordeals such as breast cancer — could feel welcomed and surrounded by gentleness. Far from the cold aesthetic so often associated with healthcare spaces, we imagined a warm, reassuring and soothing environment, conceived as a true haven of peace.

A hushed, confidential atmosphere

The colour palette plays an essential role in creating this atmosphere: neutral and pastel tones combine with natural materials such as wood and travertine to establish a soft, enveloping mood. Located on the ground floor overlooking a small courtyard, the space enjoys a subdued, carefully controlled light, designed to avoid any harshness and to diffuse a subtle warmth throughout.

The language of curves

Curved forms are at the heart of this architectural project. They were chosen for their ability to soften the space and create a sense of fluidity and comfort. Far from straight lines and sharp angles, so often synonymous with rigidity, curves appear in the arches, the shelving, the corners of the furniture, and even in the circulation spaces. They reinforce the feeling of safety and contribute to the overall harmony of the place.

Silence, comfort and privacy

The acoustic quality of the practice was also considered a fundamental element of well-being. In the waiting room and at reception, wall coverings by Orac Decor absorb sound and ensure the confidentiality of conversations. The carefully selected furniture combines comfort and aesthetics, with deep seating, rounded forms and welcoming materials. The whole forms a peaceful cocoon, conducive to listening and serenity.
