MidLight Runway is a skin beauty clinic in the chic neighbourhood of Shukugawa, Japan.

This interior project takes place in an already existing building that offers a limited space to host the totality of rooms. In an attempt of celebrating beauty, the hallway transcends its merely functional quality of serving different spaces to perform more like a runway.

A series of repetitive Stainless-steel bars standing from the floor to the 3.1m high ceiling on both sides of the hallway divide the space into smaller waiting and consultation rooms on the right, and the different examination and treatment rooms on the left. Every second bar on the right side was continued by a 1.8m high mirrored wall creating 7 small private waiting and consultation spaces that guaranteed the needed privacy.

All rooms are open to the outside garden through the glass façade opening it to the comfortable daylight. The stainless bars edge facing the hallway is lit in its total height. These lights reflect on the mirrored ceiling to create a 6.2m shiny runaway. Similarly, the wall at the end of the hallway is also covered in mirror in its totality. Walking down the hallway turns into an experience of a bright fashion runway where beauty is reflected, where elegance is celebrated.
