The draft was defined by the clinic’s central theme, with the concept
of a double row room structure for the extension, being derived from the
two-dimensional illustration of a set of teeth. Five treatment rooms, as well
as one room for prosthetic dentistry, are lined up next to each other on the southern
side, benefiting fully from the natural sunlight. The separation of the rooms
and their doorways are clearly defined by angular niches recessed into the
walls that help guide the patients to their destination.
The ubiquitous use of the clinical colour white, accentuated by the
mint-coloured Corporate-Identity-Green of the regional medical insurance
company, is the perfect analogy for hygiene and fresh breath. A white and soft
PVC floor coating and a transparent back-lit ceiling made of polycarbonate web
plates compensate for the reduced daylight in the hall and waiting area. The
rolled-on pattern on the walls, as well as the mirrored “mouth hygiene” area
with its display cabinets, completes the friendly and almost glamorous
character. This interpretation is successfully continued with a curved
reception and seating area with desk and bench representing the throat,
complemented by a red seating element as the tongue.
The high degree of technology typical of such a facility remains mostly
in the background to produce surroundings that are considerate to the patient’s
needs. It can only be seen through the translucent ceiling.
