Studio Gad, an Israel-based architecture and design firm has created an eye-catching hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) centre for improving brain and body performance for Aviv Clinics, which specialises in using HBOT to maximise human performance.
Located in Florida, Aviv Clinics’ first property offers a 12-week oxygen therapy treatment programme designed to improve cognitive and physiological abilities. The schedule involves two-hour treatments delivered five-days-a-week in hyperbaric suites where guests breathe pure oxygen in a pressurised atmosphere. Prior to sessions, guests undergo three days of intensive assessments to identify their baseline cognitive and physical performance, with these being used to design training plans and nutritional coaching.
To create the chamber’s sensory elements and design, Studio Gad drew inspiration from the design of a first-class plane cabin to create a feeling of exclusivity, with the interiors of each HBOT pod being 3D printed to provide a seamless structure.
Pods and have been designed using rounded shapes and give off calming light to soften the overall experience. “It’s our privilege to partner with Aviv Clinics and develop a new architectural language to elevate the world of physical and cognitive performance enhancement,” says Studio Gad founder, Gad Halperin.
Aviv Clinics says HBOT benefits include improvements to circulation, information processing and stamina, as well as anti-ageing benefits and the promotion of physiological healing. Some studies are now also being conducted to assess its efficacy in helping with the rehabilitation of patients recovering from the long-term cognitive impacts of COVID-19.
Aviv Clinics is already planning a second facility in Dubai which is scheduled to open by the end of March.
