Brave New World. Dental Clinic for FY Smile.
Cosmetic dentistry: an exploration of the intersection between nature and technology. A brave new world between the artificial and the natural. We sought to interpret a landscape within a clinical context for this dental practice. Sanctuary-like, and ‘minty fresh’, deeply influenced by a Japanese-flavoured aesthetic where human experience, nature and technology are combined. It hints at a natural world which has undergone a process of distillation and reinterpretation.
All spaces connected by a meandering pathway; a complex hierarchy of spaces and their relationships dictated the layout and provided an opportunity to reinforce a sense of an ‘outdoor’ space. A glazed ‘floating’ pavilion to the centre of the site edged with a ‘skylight’ detail and a rock garden. The pebble-crete floor finish throughout the consulting and transition spaces further enhance the sense of the landscape.
A unique exploration of the clinical context, without being sterile. A dental clinic that bridges the natural and clinical world, evoking a calm, serene and relaxing sensory experience.
