Lux Linea is an ophthalmology clinic in Shibuya, Tokyo. The new addition to Total Eye Care clinics in the heart of the Japanese capital takes place on the ground floor of a mixed use building. Lux Linea design addresses two main issues. Glass reflections, and patients privacy. The clinic operates mostly during daytime, when the bright daylight reflects on the glass, obstructing visibility to the inside. The clinic employs a series of panel that plays with light lines through the glazed facades to connect with its surrounding urban environment.
