Lake Washington Physical Therapy’s West Seattle branch seamlessly integrates functionality with design to enhance patient wellness. The space includes a reception area, treatment rooms, a dynamic exercise area, and a compact cluster of offices. These programming zones were strategically laid out with attention to ease of use and accessibility to accommodate movement-impaired clients.
Drawing off the precedent of Lake Washington Physical Therapy’s other locations, the design incorporates cohesive brand elements as well as a few site-specific touches. The reception area includes a solid surface, marbled white counter, which steps down to an inviting, wood-paneled service desk. Spherical pendant light fixtures illuminate the area, and a mural to the right of the desk adds a lively burst of color and visual interest. Although the offices are nested within the center of the space, windows are thoughtfully added to help natural light infiltrate the work areas. The modern and activated environment was designed and constructed efficiently, allowing the clinic to quickly leap into operation.
