FAAB Architektura Conceives of a Cutting-Edge Fertility Clinic in Wroc\u0142aw, Poland<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Based in Poland, Invicta takes a holistic approach to women\u2019s fertility, offering patients a full suite of diagnostic services and state-of-the-art treatments\u2014from gynecology and genetics to IVF and psychology\u2014under one roof. The company\u2019s new 9,000-square-foot clinic in the southwest city of Wroc\u0142aw encompasses consultation and treatment rooms, an outpatient hospital (complete with operating theater for laparoscopic procedures), and high-tech laboratories to support IVF, ICSI, and the like. Hired to oversee the facility\u2019s design, FAAB Architektura<\/a> took inspiration from the patients it serves: those seeking\u2014and succeeding from\u2014fertility treatments. The Warsaw practice created a sensitive and conceptually sound scheme that subtly nods to the transformative aspects of pregnancy, firm cofounders Adam Bia\u0142obrzeski and Adam Figurski explain: \u201cCurved geometry characteristic of the female body during the prenatal development of a child\u2014the tension of abdominal skin and caused by fetal movement\u2014determined the character of the interior.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reception and waiting area at Invicta, a women\u2019s fertility specialist and health clinic in Wroc\u0142aw, Poland, introduces the design\u2019s emphasis on curves. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This idea plays out in the form of sinuous elements and environmental graphics that embellish all surfaces of the waiting areas and public corridors: backlit stretch-ceiling treatments, two-tone heterogeneous flooring, glossy gold paint. (The latter was executed by FAAB team members after they were unable to find a contractor who could transfer the graphic templates to the walls and ceilings.) A juxtaposition of translucent and opaque, matte and reflective, gold and silver creates further dynamism and a tone of optimism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A testament to the success of the design, some 69 couples successfully received fertility treatment in just the first few months since the ribbon cutting. And the clinic\u2019s purview expanded to take on a public health role during the pandemic, switch-hitting as a COVID-19 vaccination site for locals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
