The project

iy Synapsis Architects transformed a compact 69 square metre space in Athens into a paediatric clinic designed to give children a calm first experience of healthcare. Inspired by the forest and the night sky, soft curves, earthy materials and natural references replace the usual clinical look.

A sculptural wall and a curved reception desk greet children beneath a starry-sky ceiling. The waiting area has playful seating and lighting, an alcove offers a quiet retreat, and examination rooms continue the forest theme. It was completed in 2024.
