A dermatology clinic outdoors? Close enough

This dermatology clinic by Yali Design Studio in Bengaluru conveys calm clinic

Wellness will be the second thought on your mind when you enter the space. The first? An immersive experience. From taupes and lush greens to open terraces, Yali Design Studio has moulded the 5,300 sq ft DNA Skin Clinic and Wellness Centre to be Bengaluru’s dermatology haven. 

Transforming a bare shell structure into one that sets up to be as functional to the purpose as it is calming to the guests. Every room offers an evocative but tranquil experience. “Our approach aimed to break away from the conventional model by blending the functionality of a clinical space with the comforting ambiance of a spa to create an environment that is soothing, inviting and relaxing transforming a traditionally cold space into one that fosters comfort and ease,” emphasises Balaji Jayapal, Principal Architect.

“Our philosophy stays deep rooted in using natural materials, inherent landscape and clean lines to pave the way for any aesthetic and functional built form. Designing spaces to create a feeling of openness while celebrating seamless transitions between indoor and outdoor experiences.” — Balaji Jayapal

In-the-door or not 

arching glass ceiling doors lead one into a reception area, grounded in the principles of Wabi Sabi and adorned with the finer elements. Boucle couches against a continual feature wooden wall that bequeaths hidden doors and product displays establish the design language of the space. Just beyond the corridor, is the main consultation cabin that offers a subtle contrast to the warmth of the entrance. The same warm wood is set against cooler grey tones, and opens into an outdoor space that doubles up as a waiting area and workshop space.

Moving further into the clinic, both the consultation and procedural rooms are entrenched in ivory, evoking a sense of calm –  setting up for maximising minimal design. The consultation rooms feature comfortable, cosy chairs whilst the procedure rooms are curated with ergonomic furniture and clean lines; all looking out into open spaces to never let the client feel cooped up (while ensuring privacy, of course!).

The culmination of indoors and outdoors is the clinic’s trump card, with a second outdoor space meant to relax and rejuvenate the patrons and providers of the service. An abundance of lush greens right next to suave and simple grey and black furniture creates a dynamic, open space.

Concrete, comfort and consultations 

Balaji says, “Our philosophy stays deep rooted in using natural materials, inherent landscape and clean lines to pave the way for any aesthetic and functional built form. Designing spaces to create a feeling of openness while celebrating seamless transitions between indoor and outdoor experiences.” The material palette delves into variants of wood, contrasting with concrete covered outdoor spaces. Touches of jute, brass, cane and terracotta swathed in light from distinctive and stunning fixtures. 

Between soft taupes, greys and ivory, the clinic reads as an in-depth dive into the most comfortable clinical experience that you and your can skin have!
