Emmanuelle named the clinic "The Magic Forest" because it was located on the floor called "the Forest Floor" in the building. The clinic liked it so much that they continued using it as an official name.
She made the Magic Forest Clinic turned into a practical and yet visually satisfying clinic in hopes to demolish the typical medical space look. The space 50m2 is divided into two –the waiting room and the medical area by the 1m90cm high opaque colored wood partitions.
In order to give a flexible dividing method in the medial area, she made 12 sliding partitions which function as a temporary wall. They create open space and sometimes provide some small private rooms depending on its use. The each partition has transparent area from the bottom up to 50cm high –letting the sun light come inside the clinic.
