Private Hospital

Client: HCA Klinikken
Location: Odense, Denmark
Year: 2022

A testament that hospital spaces need not be ‘clinically white’ to create feelings of cleanliness and safety, HCA Klinikken’s interiors are intimate, tactile and inviting. We transformed a historical manor house to accommodate all medical needs (waiting areas, operating rooms, consultation and care spaces, etc), while offering a healing environment for care workers, patients and their close ones. Filled with natural light, textiles and soft furnishings, the hospital resembles a calm and gracious home, rather than a medical setting.

The studio worked on all aspects of the interior design - from sketching the overarching vision and spatial flow, to overseeing the build, styling, lighting, acoustics and way-finding. It has been paramount to preserve and restore the building’s historical features and rich details, defining a medical space that feels contemporary and refreshing, yet with timeless gravitas.

“We wanted interiors that felt highly professional, with simple gestures and clean lines, but simultaneously aesthetically pleasing and inviting, to help our patients feel comfortable.
This is exactly what Mette Risbæk helped us achieve.

Mette is highly respectful towards our ambitions and suggestions, while gently nudging us towards constructive next steps. We think the result is fantastic.”

- Alan Kimper-Karl, CEO
