Shinjuku Medical Checkup Plaza

This project involves expanding the women's floor of Tokyo's largest health checkup facility from one floor to two, and renovating it with a new concept design.
Based on the concept of "providing a comfortable and smart health checkup experience for women working in the city center," we aimed to create a space that takes into consideration the flow of movement, sightlines, and overall comfort of both patients and staff working there.
Through extensive discussions with many stakeholders, we carefully designed every detail of the functionality and aesthetics, which led to the creation of a highly hospitable health checkup service.


[Social Issues / Customer Issues / Requests]
The client's primary request was to significantly increase the capacity and operational efficiency of the female patient slots.
The challenge we faced was to ensure ease of use and comfort while maximizing the number of examination rooms and waiting area seats.
On the other hand, in order to further establish the competitive advantage of "Shinjuku Health Checkup Plaza" within the health checkup facility market, we aimed to enhance its sense of exclusivity and added value.


[Solution]
We concept design "SMART HEALTH RESORT" as the overall concept for the facility, designating the existing 7th-floor ladies' floor as "COMFORT RESORT" and the newly established 8th floor, which will offer an even more exclusive experience than the 7th floor, as "PRIME RESORT."

With the aim of providing a comfortable and smart health checkup experience for women working in the city center, the spatial design is based on a hotel-like sense of luxury, and the color scheme is based on beige and light-colored wood tones.
Instead of using common colors like gold or silver, the metal materials were unified in a pink bronze color to give them a special feel.
Furthermore, while most medical facilities typically interiors plain, subdued wallpaper for their examination rooms, we have differentiated our facility by using patterned wallpaper in each room to help patients feel more relaxed during their visit.

Securing the required number of examination rooms and waiting areas within a limited floor space was an extremely difficult problem. However, through repeated discussions with medical technologists and medical equipment manufacturers, we were able to determine the minimum size of each examination room that would allow for both smooth examination operations and ensure that patients do not feel cramped, and then plan accordingly, thereby achieving the necessary number of rooms.
