VISIQUE Project
Overview
Commissioned by optometrists for a hybrid between a store and an eye clinic, VISIQUE is designed in a manner that emphasizes both components by creating a coherent whole.
Location
Located at the Ground Floor of a residential building in the Hamra area, VISIQUE hosts two vitrines that are located on the main street.
Concept
The concept for VISIQUE came from the intention of maximizing the spatial qualities of the existing space. The eyewear cabinets, spreading from floor to ceiling, contribute to the elongation of the space by reading as vertical elements that define the height of the space. A stair linking both the ground and first floor is integrated in the wall cabinets and reads as both a circulation and vertical element.
Diagrams
VISIQUE was designed as an open space, allowing for optimal circulation between the cabinets, the examination center, and the central counter. The white color present around the project is reminiscent of the clinic colors.
