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.

It was important this space be a reflection of our clients brand aspirations. 

Often considered unpleasant and uncomfortable, it was key to the brief that the environment feel calm and non-intimidating.

We drew upon Japanese design principles to emulate a tranquil retreat.

Our client wanted to highlight technology and procedures. We created multiple opportunities for display and showcase, an example- the combination of 3 areas into one clinical room, consultation room, and photography room.

The site was a former fashion retail store that relied on an expansive shop front for visual exposure,  We considered this a unique opportunity to utilise natural light in clinical spaces. Considering the need for privacy, we added digital projections and acid etching to the glazing to ensure appropriateness.
