ESPO designed and implemented the Day Hospital chemotherapy unit in Tehran, an approximately 110 m² treatment environment integrating patient treatment positions, medical-service infrastructure and staff support spaces.
The brief, context, and coordinated thinking behind the work.
The Day Hospital Chemotherapy Unit in Tehran is one of ESPO’s specialized healthcare projects, combining architectural and engineering design, interior design and implementation. With an estimated project area of approximately 110 m², the unit was developed around the relationship between patient treatment positions, medical-service infrastructure, staff support functions and a calmer interior environment for extended treatment sessions.
ESPO’s documented work at Day Hospital includes the design and construction of the chemotherapy department as part of a broader portfolio of clinical projects for the hospital. This page focuses specifically on the chemotherapy unit and its treatment, support and staff-related spaces.
The unit is organized around clearly legible treatment positions equipped with medical-service headwalls, IV support and movable bedside tables, while staff work and support functions remain close to the treatment areas. The design coordinates clinical infrastructure with built-in cabinetry, worktops, sinks, storage and lighting as part of a unified interior system.
The approved project imagery shows both shared treatment areas and more individual treatment settings. Beds are positioned along medical-service walls with IV poles, bedside tables and treatment-support equipment arranged within easy reach, while privacy curtains provide separation where required.
Warm neutral finishes and extensive wood-toned surfaces reduce the visual dominance of technical equipment. Indirect perimeter lighting, integrated task lighting and large sky-image ceiling panels add another layer to the room composition without obscuring the clinical functions of the space.
Support zones are integrated directly beside the treatment environment. Built-in cabinetry, worktops, sinks, monitors, telephones and storage are grouped into compact work areas, allowing clinical-support functions to remain visually organized and close to patient spaces.
Nature imagery is also used as part of the interior visual language, including sky-themed ceiling panels and tropical landscape imagery at selected window openings. These elements are treated as interior visual features rather than as claims about the actual exterior view.
The unit uses a restrained palette of beige, cream and warm wood tones, complemented by mauve textiles and soft indirect lighting. This material and color approach creates a more composed interior character while the hospital beds, medical-service panels, IV equipment and support stations remain clearly identifiable.
ESPO’s role covered architectural and engineering design, interior design coordination and implementation. The project brings together patient treatment areas, visible medical-service infrastructure, staff-support functions, built-in elements and lighting within one coordinated healthcare interior.
How the team translated project constraints into a clear and deliverable response.
The project required shared and more private treatment settings, medical-service infrastructure, IV support, staff work functions and storage to be coordinated within a large chemotherapy unit while maintaining a calm and visually organized patient environment.
ESPO coordinated architectural and engineering design, interior design and implementation around clearly defined treatment positions, adjacent staff-support zones, integrated medical headwalls, built-in cabinetry, indirect lighting and nature-inspired visual features.
The completed unit brings treatment beds, medical-service systems, staff-support functions and patient-facing interior elements together within a coherent chemotherapy environment of approximately 110 m².
