Commissioned by world-renowned antiaging expert and founder of CHA Health Systems, Dr. Kwang Yul Cha, The Chaum Center has been designed by KMD Architects as an entirely new model of integrative medicine and personalized health care within a setting that resembles more like a five-star resort than a medical facility.
The Chaum Center, spanning six floors, offers complete medical services including a proactive, prevention-driven, highly customized healthcare plan for each member. It also houses a world-class fitness centre and spa offering services.
KMD Architects designed The Chaum Center based on the philosophy of ‘diagnosis and care from arrival to departure’ in a beautiful, serene environment. Design elements are purposed to influence emotion and relaxation, creating an inviting, healing environment that blends the best of modern medicine, traditional therapies and integrative treatment.
The building’s entrance and circular escalator set the tone of serenity and stimulating energy for futuristic treatments and lavish amenities. Fluid design elements such as continuous walls that ebb and flow, therapeutic colours and stimulating materials appear on each floor.
KMD Architects designed the examination pods to mimic the structure of a cell, reinforcing the core focus of The Chaum Center. The examination pods are designed to be spacious and open, yet private ensuring all tests and diagnoses are kept personal.
KMD Architects’ created a beautiful indoor atrium at the heart of the building, offering the tranquility and lushness of an outdoor garden. Above the second and third floors is a three-storey health club, which KMD Architects refreshed and incorporated in the stimulating and therapeutic essence of The Chaum Center.
The health club also features a five-star rated restaurant offering patients a gathering place for social interaction and epicurean and nutritional education.
