Humansa, a healthcare brand under New World Group (Hong Kong), aims to deliver health and wellness services at its first flagship clinic in the busy city center of Kowloon, Hong Kong. Those services include medical imaging, dentistry, endoscopy, dietetics, physiotherapy, and high-performance training.

Serving adults and children, with a specific focus on targeting business executives and athletes, the project shifts away from a typical clinical setting. It includes a biophilic approach to create a sustainable hub for health, wellness, and performance.

Sustainable, durable, and recycled materials, including terrazzo flooring, diatom mud walls, and bamboo features, help provide a natural, calming space to improve health.

The 18,400-square-foot floor plan was sectioned into zones, and the journey begins at the main entrance and consultation zone. There, visitors find a waiting area filled with natural light, flexible sofa settings, consultation booths, and an organic dispensary hut along with a staff room and kitchen.

The dietetic zone includes green lawn seating and bamboos screens. The exam and imaging zone is next and features private organic-shaped rooms with natural finishes, including diatom mud walls, and semi-frosted glass to provide privacy and a place of serenity.

A consultation area is situated includes ultrasound, mammogram, X-ray, and eye screening rooms.
