enter projects: edgeclif medical centre for autistic children

developed by australian firm enter projects, the ‘edgeclif medical centre for autistic children’ sets a clear example of digitally fabricated interiors, prototyped to understand the partnership of light, optics and color playing a pivotal role in shaping the overall feel of the conception. indirect lighting is used to soften the space with cove illuminescence providing an additional calming effect. tonal gradation plays an important role in emotional connections, where a neutral pallet is chosen with bold color injections interspersed throughout. known for its healing properties, a fearless orange shade is utilized within the back feature wall. soft furnishings complement the interior space with playful dinosaur design rugs and fiocco ‘stocking’ chairs by busnelli.
