This forward-thinking women's clinic stands as a beacon of empowerment, valuing privacy, natural light, and materiality in every patient area. Housed within a sleek and minimalist rectilinear building enveloped in a combination of masonry, metal, and wood, it provides a warm and welcoming environment. By strategically placing exam rooms along the exterior and situating supporting program spaces within the interior core, the clinic not only prioritizes patient confidentiality but also creates a harmonious, patient-centric experience.

MOGA Desoto is an 11,000 sf modern OB/GYN office and clinic located in Southaven, MS within the City’s medical district. The structure stands out amongst its peers due to the contemporary aesthetic of the exterior design. The patient entry is celebrated with a double-height ceiling space and a cantilevered drop-off canopy intended to provide hierarchy on the site. The interiors are distinctive to the MOGA brand. Finishes and materials were chosen in order to create a warm and welcoming environment. Each exam room is equipped with a custom steel window shroud protruding from the facade. The exam windows are intentionally angled north and placed within the room to achieve daylight without compromising patient privacy.
