Mad clinic design

Dezeen MD. net Clinic Akasaka by Nendo
Japanese designers Nendo have completed the interior of a mental health clinic in Akasaka, Tokyo, where none of the doors open and patients and staff instead move around the building by opening sections of the walls.
Yes, because we can all imagine how people attending a psychiatric clinic would like to be confused and tricked by a bunch of fake doors.

You can see photos of the place, which looks to me more like some sort of trick house from Disneyland than a medical clinic, at the link above.

The color theme is nice and the concept is good, as you've said, for a trick house in Disneyland. Perhaps this was designed with the thought of testing the patients.
