South Korean architects at Khan Project have created an office designed to look like a doctor's office/laboratory. Everything in the entire office is white, save for the tabletops and chair legs, and employees walk around in all-white outfits and lab coats. Unlike doctors, employees are allowed to wear slippers or no shoes at all; this is done in an attempt to make them feel more comfortable and at home.
The office and employees give the appearance of a medical facility, which fits perfectly with Khan Project's mission to "fix space like doctors cure people." Themed offices are nothing new, but this may be one of the first medical offices not used for medical purposes. Creatives need creativity and comfort to create, so it makes sense that Khan Project would design an office space that combines imagination with comfort.
