Humanised design in the Vale de Besteiros Medical Clinic by Roble Aurora

Artspazios: the contemporary vision of Portuguese design
Artspazios is an architecture, interior design and project development studio headquartered in Viseu, Portugal. It is one of the best-known and most prestigious firms in Portugal, which, when creating a space, seeks balance, as well as integrating nature, sustainability, beauty, well-being and art.

At Artspazios, they don't just design architecture; they cover everything from the initial concept to interior design, landscaping and even construction and real estate development management. In addition to impressive residential projects, they also carry out hospitality and retail projects.

Vale de Besteiros Medical Clinic: the humanisation of health spaces
One of these cases is the Vale de Besteiros Medical Clinic. This establishment has been designed with the aim of offering a reassuring alternative to the traditional hospital environment. Therefore, the focus has been placed on natural light, warm materials and plants, which help to reduce anxiety and build confidence.

Balance between clinical requirements and a pleasant space for people
Clear pathways connect the reception, waiting room, consultation rooms and technical areas, facilitating the experience for both patients and staff. The spaces meet clinical requirements and current regulations, and integrate technology discreetly, while being pleasant for both visitors and those who work there daily.

Finsa in the project, the warmth of wood at the service of the clinical environment
To create that welcoming atmosphere, Artspazios made a key design decision: to use the same wood tone in all rooms. The choice was Roble Aurora, in an Atlas finish, a decorative surface from Finsa's Duo range with FibraPan® board. Working with a single design for panelling, doors, and furniture maintains visual continuity that reinforces the calm the clinic seeks, while also providing the warmth of wood to counteract the typical coldness of healthcare spaces.

As a range designed for decorative coverings in professional spaces, Duo also offered the versatility to solve very different surfaces with the same material, from reception panelling to lockers or custom-made furniture. The Roble Aurora design, with its combination of cathedrals, knots and cracks, brings a natural character without being overdone.
