LuxLinea

Lux Linea is an ophthalmology clinic in the Shibuya district of Tokyo, Japan. The clinic covers a gross built area of 250 square meters and has a floor plan shaped as a right trapezoid.

The panels are acrylic sheets printed with straight lines and lit at the edges by LED tape. Mirrors on the ceiling and walls repeat the light lines. The panels placed beside the waiting chairs also give patients privacy.
