Description

The architectural project for the reform of interventional radiology focuses on creating a functional and welcoming space, considering the specific needs of an environment where patients remain awake during procedures. With a significant amount of personnel working simultaneously and the frequent presence of apprentices, a space has been designed to allow discreet observation without interfering with the doctors' work.

Space distribution has been optimized to maximize efficiency and order. Corners have been created where observers can be present without disrupting the workflow. Special attention has been paid to storage, ensuring that all equipment and supplies are organized and accessible, contributing to reducing visual clutter. Well-defined niches keep consumable supplies tidy and out of the way.

The design is based on a color palette dominated by white, which brings brightness and a sense of spaciousness, counteracting the lack of natural light typical of a basement environment. Additionally, wood is used to add warmth and comfort to the space, creating a welcoming atmosphere for patients and staff alike.
