In the current landscape of contract interior design, creating environments that promote health has become a strategic priority. The Epigenza project, located in a town in Valencia, emerges not only as a nutrition center but as an ecosystem designed to improve the quality of life for its users. At Integra, we have approached this commission under our premise of approachable architecture, merging the warmth of a home with the efficiency of a cutting-edge clinic.
Wellness space design requires a material selection that speaks the language of nature. For Epigenza’s central area, where nutritional education is key, we selected the Natura model from Delta. The Verde Fiordo finish is not purely an aesthetic choice; it’s a statement of intent. This tone evokes balance and serenity, vital psychological elements in a health center.
To crown this furniture, we opted for the Laminam Arabescato countertop. This large-format porcelain provides a continuous surface, eliminating unnecessary joints and ensuring impeccable hygiene, a critical factor in any contract project of a sanitary nature. The veining on the white background provides that visual mastery that elevates the space.
A modern nutrition center is not static. Epigenza functions as a clinic, but also as a school. Therefore, the technical layout was a challenge of precision.
Dual work zones: We incorporated two independent cooking areas. This allows one professional to prepare weekly menus for clients while another group can receive a cooking class without interference.
Movement flows: We studied the user’s journey to ensure a fluid and educational transition between the consultation area and the action area (the kitchen).
Mastery in execution: Every detail, from overhead lighting to the integration of appliances, was supervised under our standard of meticulous care.
When a patient enters Epigenza, they don’t find themselves in a cold waiting room. They find themselves in a space that breathes technical mastery and human warmth. This «Approachable Architecture» approach ensures that the physical environment acts as an ally to nutritional treatment, reducing stress and fostering a positive relationship with food.
