The client wished for a Lodge style building that was welcoming and represented a progressive image for their progressive yet down-to-earth dental services.
Creative Thinking
A bright inviting entry in the new clinic is a great improvement to the hidden back door that is their existing entry. The staff lounge has high windows to allow light and an outdoor space hidden by a wing wall (seen left). Selective use of materials keeps the budget in check while giving a high-design appeal.
Streetscape
The waiting room, at the street corner,will glow like a ‘lantern’ at night continuing to "advertise" in the off-hours. Operatories are located along the side street with street landscaping designed to both screen the operatories and give them landscaping that is seasonal and transforming.
