Noisis Center a minimal design, specialized facility located in Korinthos, dedicated to providing mental health support for children and adolescents. The goal of this project was to create a space that would feel safe, welcoming, and therapeutic for young patients while maintaining a professional and reassuring environment for their families. The interior design and branding of Noisis Center were crucial elements in achieving this vision, aiming to strike a balance between a comforting atmosphere and a clinical setting conducive to effective treatment.
The project involved a complete redesign of the existing space, including the reception area, consultation rooms, therapy spaces, and common areas. The center’s branding was also overhauled to better reflect its mission of nurturing mental well-being and growth in young patients. The new design needed to be sensitive to the needs of children dealing with various mental health challenges, incorporating elements that would reduce anxiety, encourage positive emotions, and foster a sense of trust and safety. The result was a thoughtfully designed environment that supported the healing process and made the Noisis Center a trusted place for families seeking help.
The project began with a comprehensive analysis of the existing facility, focusing on how the space could be optimized to better serve the needs of young patients. Understanding that the environment plays a significant role in the therapeutic process, the design approach prioritized creating a setting that was both calming and engaging. We began by developing a minimal design concept that would cater to the different age groups treated at Noisis Center, from young children to teenagers, while maintaining a cohesive aesthetic throughout the space.
The color palette was carefully selected to evoke calmness and positivity. Soft, muted tones like pastel blues, greens, and yellows were chosen for their soothing qualities, helping to create a peaceful environment. These colors were paired with natural materials such as wood and stone to add warmth and a sense of stability. The layout of the center was reimagined to ensure that each area served its intended purpose effectively, with special attention given to the flow between different spaces. The reception area was designed to be welcoming and non-intimidating, with comfortable seating and playful, yet subtle, decorative elements that would appeal to children and put them at ease.
In the therapy rooms, the focus was on creating flexible, adaptive spaces that could be customized to suit the needs of individual patients. These rooms were designed to be free of distractions, with minimalistic furniture and soft lighting to create a calming atmosphere. We also incorporated elements that would encourage creative expression and play, such as art supplies and modular furniture, which can be reconfigured for different therapeutic activities. The design of these rooms took into consideration the varying needs of the children, ensuring that the space could accommodate a wide range of therapeutic techniques.
One of the standout features of the Noisis Center’s redesign was the sensory room—a dedicated space for children who might feel overwhelmed by the therapeutic process. This room was designed with input from child psychologists to include sensory-friendly elements such as soft lighting, textured surfaces, and calming sounds. The sensory room provides a retreat for children to relax and regroup, ensuring that their therapy sessions can be as productive as possible.
The branding of Noisis Center was also a critical component of the project. The new logo was designed to be both reassuring and professional, featuring soft, rounded shapes and a calming color palette. The logo’s design was intended to reflect the center’s focus on nurturing growth and well-being, with imagery that subtly suggests care and support. The branding was applied consistently across all touchpoints, including signage, stationery, and digital media, ensuring that the center’s identity was clearly communicated to both patients and their families.
Throughout the process, close collaboration with the center’s staff was essential to ensure that the design met the specific needs of the children and adolescents they serve. Regular meetings were held to gather feedback and make adjustments as needed, ensuring that the final design was both functional and aligned with the center’s therapeutic goals. The construction phase was carefully managed to minimize disruption to the center’s operations, with most work completed outside of regular hours to ensure the safety and comfort of the patients.
Upon completion, Noisis Center was transformed into a space that significantly enhanced the patient experience. The new design successfully created a therapeutic environment that is both comforting and effective, helping children and their families feel supported from the moment they walk through the doors. The project achieved its goal of making Noisis Center a place where young patients can find the help they need in an environment that promotes healing and growth.
