Zhongjing Space: Redefining the Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic

Creating a Peaceful and Personalized Healing Environment

Traditional Chinese medicine clinics are often associated with crowded waiting rooms, uncomfortable seating, and a lack of tranquility. However, Chia Ling Hsieh's innovative design, Zhongjing Space, challenges these preconceptions and introduces a new pattern of Chinese medicine.

Inspired by the desire to create a serene and calming atmosphere, Zhongjing Space eliminates the noise and chaos typically found in traditional clinics. Instead of a rigid row of seats, patients are encouraged to choose their own seating based on their personal preferences, fostering a sense of comfort and individuality.

While waiting for their appointments, patients are treated to the soothing sounds of jazz music, creating a relaxed ambiance that helps them unwind and alleviate any anxiety. This unique approach to waiting room design transforms the waiting experience into a moment of relaxation and self-reflection.

One might argue that Zhongjing Space deviates from the traditional image of a Chinese medicine clinic. However, it is precisely this departure that makes it a pioneer in the field. By incorporating elements of nature, such as the freshness of a forest, the space exudes a sense of peace and tranquility, promoting a holistic healing experience.

The design of Zhongjing Space has garnered recognition and acclaim. In 2018, it was awarded the Iron A' Design Award in the Interior Space, Retail, and Exhibition Design category. This prestigious accolade is a testament to the design's practicality, innovation, and ability to meet professional and industrial requirements. The Iron A' Design Award recognizes designs that integrate industry best practices and exhibit competent technical characteristics, ultimately contributing to a better world.

Zhongjing Space, created by Chia Ling Hsieh, redefines the traditional Chinese medicine clinic by prioritizing the comfort and well-being of patients. Through its unique features and serene atmosphere, it offers a new pattern of Chinese medicine that embraces modernity while staying true to its roots.
