Nilkanth Ayurveda Clinic reflects holistic healing principles
studio rei designs Nilkanth Ayurveda Clinic in India following a fluid spatial arrangement to optimize efficiency and create an open environment. The layout reflects Ayurveda’s holistic principles and alternative medicine practices by integrating natural materials and traditional craftsmanship. The clinic includes two consultation cabins, a waiting area, restrooms, a pharmacy, and a pantry, all arranged linearly to enhance spatial flow.
Partition walls are constructed using a woven paper veneer, combining a contemporary material with traditional weaving techniques. This approach allows for light and air circulation while maintaining privacy, reinforcing a connection to Ayurvedic practices. The meticulous cutting and interlacing of the paper veneer creates rhythmic patterns. The weaving process was selected for its methodical and deliberate execution, aligning with the principles of slow and mindful healing.

Terracotta lighting fixtures were incorporated as part of the material palette, emphasizing natural textures. Handcrafted by skilled potters, the fixtures were shaped and fired using traditional methods, highlighting craftsmanship that complements the clinic’s design philosophy.
The clinic’s material selection by studio rei’s design team prioritizes sustainability and simplicity, aligning with the client’s request for a minimal and monochromatic aesthetic. The project integrates tradition with modern elements, maintaining the essence of Ayurveda and the philosophy of slow, deliberate healing, while adapting to contemporary spatial requirements.
