EG CLINIC

In the design phase of the Ebru Geren Clinic, projected by Sard Studio in Adana, care was taken to choose natural, long-lasting materials that can be recycled and used for different purposes later on. Travertine, birch contra, steel, and wood are among the materials preferred as a reference to the transforming beauty that exists with time rather than challenging it.

In the design of the stairs, wood and steel support each other, pushing the limits of the structural features of both, taking into account function, stability, and aesthetic concerns. After reaching a certain point in the design, the application details were finalized due to the meetings held with the craftsmen who would reveal the work. The intensiveness of using handicrafts, the contribution of the craft to the design, and the function of the materials used are also aimed to be displayed clearly. After completing its function, the staircase was dismantled and detailed so that it could be used elsewhere.

On the ceiling, which is considered an element that defines the space and guides the users, the birch contraption is again preferred in line with the general design approach. This form, which emerged from the use of as few natural materials as possible, as well as the interconnection of different sections designed for each area, took its final shape by adapting to the electrical and mechanical infrastructure in a way to make maximum use of the existing ceiling height.

A form that combines function and aesthetics was considered for the countertop design, and a design that draws its strength from the material itself was targeted. As the material progresses with rhythmic forms, different sections come together to form a holistic structure, creating an element that dominates the interior and makes it unique. As on the ceiling, a birch contraption was preferred on the reception counter. Placing the necessary numbers of circular pieces of the same material between the two plates, both interspaces were obtained and the plates from these circular forms were attached to each other. The plates, which are stacked side by side and transfer the load to each other both horizontally and vertically, functioned as a solid mass when they were completed and thus remained stable. It took its power from the material itself and from the correctly transferred loads. Making the beauty and calmness of the natural feel in the design of the place has been one of the main motivations of the designers.
