Nova House

Mexico City, Mexico

2019

Female Sexual Wellness Center

Commercial Fit Out

232 m2

Nova House is a female sexual wellness center, dedicated to inclusivity and focusing on the health and well-being of female reproductive organs. Addressing physical and emotional concerns at all stages of life—menstruation, pregnancy, and menopause—this center is a haven of care and compassion.

 

The architecture of Nova House is inspired by the forms and colors of the female body. Soft, organic shapes and a soothing color palette of blues and neutral tones evoke a sense of peace, trust, and inclusivity, reflecting the diverse spectrum of human skin colors.

 

Privacy and cleanliness are paramount, ensuring that every visitor feels safe and welcomed, akin to visiting a close friend's home. The careful selection of furniture, art, and details counteracts the cold, clinical atmosphere often associated with medical facilities. Instead, the design achieves a harmonious balance between minimalism and warmth, creating an inviting and comfortable environment.

 

From the outset, collaboration with graphic designers was integral to the project, seamlessly blending the center's name and logo with its architectural elements. This thoughtful integration extends to hand soap labels, uniforms designed in collaboration with a fashion designer, and custom stationery. Each treatment room boasts its own unique logo and name, contributing to a well-rounded, cohesive project.

 

Nova House stands as a testament to the power of interdisciplinary collaboration, with our firm serving as a bridge between interior design, graphic design, and fashion. This holistic approach ensures a considerate and thoughtful experience for all who enter.
