Skines, a premier dermatology clinic designed by Ego Design for Dr. Krishna Patel, redefines the patient experience through a harmonious blend of contemporary aesthetics and Wabi Sabi philosophy. Spanning 4,500 sq. ft., the clinic embodies tranquillity, functionality, and understated elegance. The design emphasises natural textures, a soothing colour palette, and thoughtful lighting to create a space that is both inviting and restorative.
With Natural Textures And Fluid Design, This Clinic Blends Modern Design with Wabi Sabi Aesthetics | Ego Designs
The clinic’s interior is a fusion of contemporary minimalism and Wabi Sabi—a Japanese philosophy that celebrates imperfection and the beauty of natural materials.
This duality is reflected in the seamless integration of modern design elements with organic, natural textures and muted tones. The result is a space that feels timeless, serene, and deeply connected to nature.
A light beige palette forms the foundation of the design, evoking warmth and calm. Walls and ceilings are adorned with limewash texture, adding depth and a tactile quality to the surfaces.
Accents of colour are introduced through upholstered sofas, while metallic finishes in fixtures and detailing provide subtle contrast. The material selection prioritizes authenticity, with raw and unfinished touches that align with the Wabi Sabi ethos.
The clinic features a spacious waiting area designed to put patients at ease. A large reception table, crafted with a blend of natural textures and sleek metals, serves as the focal point.
The seating arrangement combines comfort and style, with sofas in accent colors that punctuate the neutral backdrop. Cove lighting washes the walls in a soft glow, enhancing the tranquil ambiance.
The large OPD (Outpatient Department) is both professional and welcoming, with a layout that prioritizes patient comfort and efficient workflow.
The design maintains the clinic’s overarching aesthetic, featuring limewash walls, cove lighting, and bespoke furniture that blends form and function.
Five dedicated procedure rooms cater to skin, hair, and nail treatments. Each room is designed for functionality and privacy, with clean lines and muted tones ensuring a distraction-free environment.
The Wabi Sabi influence is evident in the use of textured finishes and organic shapes, creating a sense of harmony.
Cove lighting plays a pivotal role in the clinic’s ambiance, casting a diffused, indirect glow that eliminates harsh shadows. This approach aligns with the Wabi Sabi principle of embracing subtlety and imperfection, while also enhancing the contemporary appeal of the space.
Skines by Dr. Krishna Patel is a testament to the power of thoughtful design in healthcare environments. By marrying contemporary minimalism with Wabi Sabi’s organic charm, the clinic offers a sanctuary where patients can feel at ease. The light beige palette, limewash textures, and strategic use of accent colours and metals create a cohesive and calming atmosphere. Every detail, from the expansive waiting area to the meticulously designed procedure rooms, reflects a commitment to aesthetics, functionality, and holistic well-being.
