Interior design for the physiotherapy clinic combines flexibility, efficient service areas, and natural light with unexpected materials such as plywood and polycarbonate.

The design alternates full and empty spaces, with full representing compact volumes for secondary functions supporting physiotherapy. All rooms are directly accessible from the reception/waiting area. Two larger rooms are separated by a movable sliding wall, allowing them to combine into a larger space. The smaller room is for laser therapy. Rooms are interconnected through folding partitions, sliding doors, or passageways in the central storage, enabling flexible room configurations.

The interior design for physical therapy is based on three key points: flexibility for diverse use scenarios while ensuring privacy, compact volumes for secondary functions (e.g., dressing rooms, storage, seating niches), and natural lighting for all work areas through transparent materials in dividing walls.

Each compact volume contains cabinets, storage shelves for therapeutic props, lockers, seating niches, and the receptionist area. Passages through secondary volumes are closed with hinged doors, serving as temporary dressing rooms with direct access to lockers. Cabinets under the windows store props and equipment in wheeled wooden containers.
