Dr. Joan Lee has a medical practice in a high-rise building in the Loop and sees a variety of people- from babies to the elderly.

Waiting and Reception Area
The sitting area is located inside a wall, its a built in sitting area, the wall in which is in is a wall considered as a volume in which the 2 examination rooms and the lavatory are located. The wall area in which the seats are is about 4'-2" giving plenty of room. The reception area is at waist level but i also added another section which is at a level convenient for wheel chair accessibility. The 2 counter are separated by a glass column which is also a display column. Also the ceiling in the reception area is 1'-6" lower to kind of show a division in the space.
Waiting and Reception with Roof
Examination Rooms
The Examination Rooms are almost exactly the same size, here i tried to have the 2 examination rooms look exactly the same but in an opposite way using a the mirror technique. The 2 examination rooms are separated by the lavatory which also gives easy access to it from both examination rooms as well as the waiting and reception area and also right across the resource area. as you can see both the examination rooms and the lavatory display the art that the doctor required.
Resource Center
The Resource center is a very inviting room with no doors and frosted glass to keep that openness and privacy at the same time.The frosted glass wall also has a custom bookshelf for books, magazines, and DVD's. A long custom counter for the display monitor and the chair. At the end wall enough room for the lounge chairs for reading.
Doctor's Office
In the Doctor's office i have covered one of the walls with a huge bookshelf to give her enough room for all her books and magazines. Her desk is located in the window walls giving her a lot of light. across from the window wall i place her conference table with enough room to move around.
