ClientAK Care

The smallest intervention project that we have done to date, the AK Room is a 6' x 10' (1.8 x 3 m2) spatial experimentation of these values, converting a typical clinic room of an insignificant footprint into one that transcends its physical boundary and inspires a deeper sense of well-being. Expressing the idea of “care” beyond clinical service, the room is composed of two symmetrical “hands” coming together from above and below, embracing a body in the very centre. The AK Room offers a ritual in which the very act of entering and inhabiting the space brings a profound inner change.
