The project for the new clinic of podiatrist Sergio Miralles (an expert in podiatric surgery and biomechanics) represents a significant opportunity to offer a unique, disruptive, and distinctive concept in a somewhat monotonous and uniform sector regarding the identity and appearance of clinics. The initiative encompasses the redesign of the clinic’s branding and interior design to consolidate its positioning as a leading center in advanced podiatry.

Vitale’s interior design project reflects on how to create a favorable emotional state for recovery. It aims to foster and enhance a positive attitude in the patient and their belief in the progression of their condition. The starting point of the design focuses on creating a patient experience where optimism and warmth prevail. The act of walking, of moving towards recovery, is represented by an environment inspired by Mediterranean light and coastal landscapes as sources of well-being.

The new facilities occupy a 380 m2 space that is arranged to meet a complex set of needs, featuring a reception and waiting area, six consultation and treatment rooms, and a comprehensive medical-surgical area with two large operating rooms.

Ceramic latticework takes center stage as a characteristic element of traditional architecture, reminiscent of the structures we encounter while walking near the sea and in outdoor spaces that blend with the landscape. In addition to defining spaces by playing with views, light, and shadows, the latticework creates a calm, warm, and inviting atmosphere. The latticework used in the project is a sinuously shaped piece that allows for unlimited configurations of curved, self-supporting partitions.
