The idea behind the design is in the following sections.

Layout
* To deal with the dense space programming but keeping the spacious feeling in the studio, the walls need to be transparent. Spaces that need to be 100% opaque are placed near the walls so that it will not obstruct the view throughout the studio. Having transparent/translucent will fill every working room with natural light.
* Bathroom are placed near the wall of the original bathroom to keep the piping short.
* Changing room will only be used in a certain time of the day so to cover it, a curtain is placed in place of solid wall so that it could be retracted when not in use to let natural light pass through the wall.
* Lab & sterilization area is not in the top priority to receive natural light so it is placed alongside the north-east wall parallel to it, to make the most out of the space.

Raised floor
* Some part of the floor in the area that needs plumbing are raised to place the pipes, keeping the ceiling in the other area that doesn't need plumbing at its full heights.

Material
* Polycarbonate sheets are used in the area that needs privacy or in this case for the treatment rooms walls, the degree of transparency could later on be adjusted according to the degree of privacy:spaciousness that is preferred. Polycarbonate sheet is preferred over frosted glass because it still give some degree of transparency, preventing claustrophobic feeling in a small room.
* Fabric is used to cover changing room when it is in use and to separate the reception and the office when there are patients in the office. To keep maximum privacy, acoustic curtain (http://www.acoustic-curtains.com/) is used to divide the reception and the office.
* To separate each room glass is used as a wall whenever possible to have maximum transparency.
* The material proposed to be used for the floor is white terrazzo coated with clear epoxy, or concrete coated with white epoxy to create a floor that's easy to clean, and to have a singular look of the floor so that it will further add to the spacious feeling of the studio.

Suspended lights
* Instead of drop ceiling, to make the studio feels spacious because some area of the floor is raised, a custom suspended lighting system is designed to create indirect lighting throughout the space.
* Indirect lighting will be more pleasant to the eyes of the patients when they look up at the ceiling in the middle of the treatment.
* With a suspended lighting fixtures, the ceiling could be kept at its fullest height creating a spacious feeling in the studio.

Reception area
* The reception table is placed in the opposite direction of the waiting room, with a tall cover up (120 cm from the floor) so the secretary will have an adequate privacy while maintaining the view.
* On the side, the reception space is partially covered with glass, that particular area could be used as a telephone booth, keeping the sound from being overheard by the person in the waiting area.
