Dental clinic

" Curtains and Cubes " Normally, clinic is definitely not one of a destination to be thought of, except for the time of sickness or unwell. But to care more about your health and have it checked up from time to time won't be such a bad idea. Therefore, this dental clinic, DENTAL BLISS, was meant to create the feeling of relaxation and warmth to lessen visitor's stress from spending time in the small space with strangers and make it feel ordinary to go to clinic by routine. According to the basic idea mentioned above, IF proposed the planning that would give the waiting area a good quality of relaxation and warmth but still have the feeling of privacy, the space that is in between the FORMALITY and INFORMALITY. The seating in the waiti... More

“A singular concept for a singular space. The light, as well as the neutral colours invade the space, thus creating a comfortable brightness for the visitant”. Business competition is intimately connected with the improvement and development of services. A striking image works as a catalyst, becoming a valuable leverage in the parting of waters between rival companies. Based on these ideas, Be Clinique, elected OPENLAB architects to transform an office space with 200m2, located in one of the most emblematical neighbourhoods of Lisbon, the Castilho Street, into a dental care clinic with five consulting rooms. This project was intended as a way to promote Be Clinique as a dental care concept. The project took in grate care the recep... More

Generally, pediatric dental clinic is a dental clinic for patients that are underage. Therefore in pediatric dentistry, dentists need to have knowledge in growth and development of children as well as ability to give dental instruction to parents. For this reason, I have designed a space where we can feel “growth”. Since I have adopted separation of traffic in the plan of this clinic, there are rooms for each unit. This means that each room is a closed space surround by “walls”. In order to create a sense of openness and secure the visibility of the staffs, I have made a semicircle shaped opening on each wall. As the diameter of the opening on each wall is different, the size and the height of the openings vary, creating a space where... More

This is a complex of a dental clinic and a dentistfs residence, located in the suburbs of Nagano, Japan, in a beautiful farm village surrounded by rice fields and peach orchards. A concrete plate 300 millimeters thick forms a zigzag structure, which makes up three shells and two open courtyards. As well as lying in alternate shifts, they face each other across the plate. Each shell has different functions inside, residence, clinic and waiting lounge. In each courtyard, two glass boxes are set and used as pathways and entry halls between two adjacent shells. The residence and the waiting lounge require being separated and kept off from the clinic to ensure dwelling ability. For dentists, the residence is the space for relaxation separ... More

Why do healthcare spaces have to be cold spaces? This has been the underlying question since the beginning of our proposal. Several activities go on in a clinical space, some regarding actual medical treatments and others related to social and reception areas. Although one might consider the treatment areas to be central in a dental clinic, this project aims to reinforce the social and humane side of healthcare facilities by proposing two distinct and opposite environments: the clinic space and the social space. The first is a rigorous, hygienic and professional space, mainly in white materials, that aspires to provide confidence and serenity to the patient. The second is a space for meeting, relaxation and comfort, a way to distance the... More

This is a dental clinic accompanied with a housing project. The conditions required were: to make the clinic and housing into one building, to create three individual treatment rooms and a couple of rooms that are able to alter into treatment rooms in the future for the clinic, and to provide the treatment area wide spread feelings while keeping its privacy. For the housing section, the client wanted to have a pleasant view of the sky. Other than these conditions, locating openings also needed particular attention in order to maintain enough natural lighting levels in the building; the site suffers from strong winter wind and is famous for the hottest temperature record in Japan during the summer. First of all, I made a rule to cre... More

This project have one concept: "feel welcome" it is located in Santa Ana which is a place of choice with upscale grocery stores, gourmet restaurants, banks, gas stations, medical and dental clinics, beauty salons, coffee houses, hotels, private schools, and small commercial centers springing up everywhere. That's why the restaurant does not have either one or two rooms, but five atmospheres where customers can choose according to their taste. It has two main rooms, the bar, the butcher shop, and the terrace. More

The objective for this clinic was very clear from the start. It was about creating a concept for a dental clinic in a shopping mall, and in that context, to establish a closer relationship with this specific public. The greatest challenge was to combine the strong commercial side of the project with the seriousness, confidence and expected cleanliness of a health facility. Another important aspect was adapting an original shopping centre store to the infrastructure and functions that are mandatory in a modern and sophisticated dental clinic. Our spatial solution is focused on a suspended cylindrical volume that hangs from the ceiling and defines the clinic‘s façade while organizing its public area (reception and waiting area)... More

CONTINUOUS, CONSECUTIVE AND CONTIGUOUS Spatial practices with white glass This dental clinic is placed on the second floor of an office building. This project starts from seeing the clinic as a spatial complex and not as the combination of public and private fragments. In order to do so, we aim that several project and clinical aspects take part in the same spatial experience by organizing the flow of patients and the movement of medical personnel. 1. CONTINUOUS Patients can perceive the idea of the clinic as a whole everywhere. The flow of people takes place all around the huge case made of traslucent white glass going all over the clinic, from the reception to the waiting room and the medical rooms. The flow of medical pers... More

Visit a dentist is usually uncomfortable experience. The young architects and designers of Sfera atelier decided to build dental clinic in Vodnany as nice as possible that visiting patients are not depressed in advance.

The roofing is designed like a combination of shed roofs related to the site and service specific... More

The Medimall is a unique building with several medical-related facilities adjacent to the new Maasstad hospital with a public pedestrian route in between, called the Care Boulevard. The design breaks with traditional designs for health care. It looks more like a shopping promenade where health is the central theme. All facilities under one roof, the 'one-stop shopping principle. On the corner is the care hotel. The plinth of the building consists of shops, interspersed with hospital-related functions, such as a rehabilitation center, which is combined with a commercial gym. Above the double-high plinth, the other functional mass. The total volume is divided into five disks that are placed perpendicular to the hospital. These areas gi... More

This dental Clinic is in suburb of Nagoya, Japan. The demand of the client is the room which can be relaxed and the noticeable outside. First, I thought that relaxation room needs to get good scenery. However, outdoor advertisings, electrical wires and structures were destroying this scenery, though there is spacious sky and rice field in Japan's suburb. I traced good things and bad things in the landscape, then the drawing line became one belt. By fastening the belt to the scenery, the spacious sky and rice fields are taken up but outdoor advertising, etc. are covered. And I just made the belt a architecture. As a result, this building came to have a facade along a major road without windows. Along this major road, rather, a taciturn f... More
