RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Before Starting to plan the spatial, we studied the process and operation of medical beauty centre. We need to understand the needs of doctors and clients. Therefore, we applied the user experience into the spatial planning that can provide great space environment to user. Comment from the owner, "My clients told me that they felt comfortable and relax in this designed environment. They feel situated in a centre where the operator or the doctor knows what they want to achieve." And the doctor said: "We do body sculpting also and clients feel the themes of aestheics and slim."
CHALLENGE: As usual, clients feel nervous and anxiety to stay in medical beauty centre for waiting their surgery and treatment. However, the reception is created with surrounded atmosphere that wish to give clients a hug and feel relieved. For clients' privacy and respect, applying zone planning to organize each process. From preparation, operation to treatment, there are access to connect each room without walk through the reception and corridor which clients don't have any embarrass time or bad feeling during the whole process. With a limited space area, using curved partition to divide the space wider visually.
