On the edge of the new housing district ‘Stationskwartier’ in Kampen, BURO S ARCHITECTS designed this accommodation for a young and growing dental practice. With most of the architecture in this new district being of rather traditional design, it was the client’s wish as well as a municipal requirement to add a new building that would stand out as a dynamic, striking volume, easy to recognize both from the residential area and the nearby highway. Additionally the client wanted the building to convey the values and mission of their practice, where patients’ comfort and wellbeing always come first. The practice also had to be as compact as possible with potential to expand in the future.
The new MOOD – Medicina Dentária clinic, in the city of Maia has an area of approximately 80 sqm on the ground floor with extra space in the basement connected by stairs.
Two interconnecting dental offices and respective support spaces (water closet and locker room), reception and waiting spaces are intended.
Onur Karadeniz Architects redefines the perception of a traditional clinic design by it’s latest completed project ‘NC Clinic’.
Commissioned by a very famous doctor, the space is intended to be used as a clinic, education center and an office. The space is once used as an architectural office with an open office plan with no walls. The client requested to divide the inner space into two offices, a photography, a meeting and three surgery rooms. Henceforth, the open office plan is divided into three parts collected around at an entrance lobby. At the right, offices; at the back, the general amenities and on the left, the clinic rooms.
At myTREEDK in Opava, they decided to fulfill their dreams of modern dentistry. They wanted a clinic where you feel comfortable. This is evidenced by their motto: “The mood makes our day, we welcome ourselves with a smile, we pass it on to our patients who change their fear into a joy in a second.” The approach of the owner and the staff, in general, is a promise for the future, that top dentistry can grow in smaller cities.
The architect David Wittassek followed up on the client’s wishes and designed the clinic in a different way than conventional facilities of this type in our country. The main intention was to design a distinctive, interesting, not sterile dental office.
The project is developed in a building with three floors with about 1250m2 of construction area and parking in the basement.
The framing for the Serra de Sintra was one of the assumptions in the layout distribution allowing the waiting areas to also become spaces for visual contemplation.
The layout of the Clinic’s interior spaces started from the maximum use of natural light for the work areas, thus reducing the environmental footprint in the building.
When Dr. Lam told us to design their dental care practice we immediately set two goals: to create a space that is friendly and pleasant to users and that also reflects the innovative character of the company, which uses the most updated technology in the field. The lobby is a calm but interesting space, with some touches of special lighting and decorative 3D elements. For the rest of the spaces we chose a sober design, with interesting although discreet design elements.
The new fifth floor of the Vanderbilt Clinic of Columbia University’s School of Dental Medicine is part of a masterplan that envisages the complete restructuring of dental education, research and practice at Columbia. This project is the prototype for CDM’s new technology-driven and collaboration-oriented curriculum. The design translates the school’s vision for dentistry into architectural form.
The Comisura Dental Surgery arises from the reform of a business premises in the city of Elda (Alicante, Spain). The project is centred on a well defined objective: that the architecture, along with the professional team, can generate positive experiences. Our aim was for a sensory change for the patients visiting a dental surgery, creating a quiet, friendly and optimistic environment.
The design covers 185 metres square spread out on two floors. The main floor, where the dentistry activities of the surgery are carried out, is taken up with the reception, waiting room, office, bathrooms, four dental surgeries, TAC room, sterilisation room and laboratory. The first floor, with a more private character, is distributed between the staff room, dressing room, private bathroom, machinery room and a large room for meetings and training.
Located in the center of the city, the project arises to give response to a new clinic whose values are based on an extremely personalized treatment to the client. The layout of the building, which dates from the beginning of the last century, conditioned the distribution.
It was decided to unify the color of walls, floor and ceiling, using a continuous pavement designed by the studio. The tone of this material is applied to the lacquering of the wooden panels and the painting of the walls, to the solid surface of the counter tops, to the faucets, the push-buttons … etc. favoring an environment that responded to the idea of the owners. This dark gray tone intentionally contrasts with the necessary dental care devices, which are shown this way as the main elements of the activity. The irregular space is solved with the entrance hall, creating an interesting perception of space.

Correcting teeth using nearly invisible braces, Smiledesigns aims to give patients new smiles. With their new clinic in Copenhagen, created in cooperation with our team of designers, Smiledesigns have created a universe that gives patients a reason to return again and again.
The inspiration for this innovative new clinic was the desire to depart from the traditional cold, clinical atmosphere of the dentist’s office, and the ambition to deliver dental services through a pleasant and exclusive experience.
