Courcelles patiente

Ubalt Architectes designed the complete renovation of a cabinet of physiotherapy, creating an intimate alcove totally out of season and isolated from the rest of the place.

The purpose of this project is the complete renovation of a cabinet of physiotherapy with the creation of water sources, furniture and a waiting space to replace a former consultation room.  This waiting room was created as an intimate alcove totally out of season and different from the rest of the place.

This room will be built on the confrontation of materials evoking the skin and the textile.  The wall between the ‘traffic’ zone and the boudoir is covered with leather wall hangings to enhance the stuffy effect of the room and to weaken noises. Ground and walls are painted nude to evoke the skin enrolling in the lexicon of the body and creating a dissociation of space between the boudoir and the cabinet.

A big wrinkled curtain of more than 6m of length draws softened outlines in the alcove. The holographic treatment of the textile combined to various levels of highlights of the space creates atmospheres, varied scenes for the patients depending on the location where they sit.
