Transforming a 2-storey shophouse from a restaurant into an aesthetic clinic presents an interesting challenge; from spatial planning within existing site constraints and authorities’ regulations, to creating an inviting client experience. 
​
For Kelly Oriental Aesthetic Clinic, ensuring that their clients start their wellness journey by entering into a warm, calm and welcoming space was essential to the overall experience. For us, we sought to balance function and form. 
 
The main entrance serves to invite clients with a tea reception, followed by adjourning up to the consultation and treatment rooms for their selected treatment, and back to wind down after. To enable this spatial transition, a significant reconfiguration of the shophouse unit was required, to ensure that substantial area is freed up within the site and its constraints, and in line with authorities’ regulations.
