three-dimensional form at the main entrance. This form is inspired
by the tension of the skin on a woman’s abdomen, as observed
during pregnancy, the tensions caused by the muscle activity of fetal
movement such as elbows and knees pressing against the womb.
Textures, colours, and light reflection play an important role in the
interior design. Translucent surfaces are juxtaposed with opaque
surfaces. Matt surfaces contrast with the light-reflecting surfaces
of the individually designed graphics. The choice of colour for the
graphics was carefully analysed. Ultimately, the colour gold was
chosen to represent one of the most precious moments in a woman’s
life - pregnancy.

The facility has played a role during the COVID-19 pandemic. A
vaccination point was organised there and used by many residents
of Wrocław.

Most importantly, from the moment the clinic was opened, until
January 2021, 69 couples have successfully received fertility
treatment. This means at least 83 new residents of Wrocław. They
are the children of people participating in the in-vitro programme,
implemented thanks to the support of the city of Wrocław. dw
