  • About the interior design firm
    Estudio Aker, led by architect Patrícia Salgado, focuses on innovative and sustainable solutions by integrating neuroarchitecture into its projects, establishing a direct link with the user's well-being and creating healthier and more balanced environments, both for living and working. Its projects aim to transform the user experience, creating spaces that not only meet functional needs through ergonomics and emotional triggers, but also promote good physical, emotional and mental health.

To create a space that promotes well-being and a connection with nature for both patients and staff, this dermatology clinic, located in a bustling urban area of São Paulo, occupies an entire floor of a building and integrates biophilic design principles into its project. Through the use of materials that reflect natural elements and the incorporation of indoor gardens in administrative spaces, reception areas and waiting rooms, a harmonious and inviting environment has been created, all while complying with health regulations.
