Ren Pepe Arquitetos, founded by a Japanese architect Ren Ito and an Italian architect Alessandro Pepe, transformed an old office to a dental clinic with 5 treatment spaces in the city centre of Porto, Portugal.

Plenty of facades with tiles near the project area served as an inspiration for the clinic, which has a concept of typical geometric pattern of tile in the city.  

The main challenge of the project was to apply the concept inspired by windmill form geometric pattern. This pattern, composed of triangles, was applied in the walls, furniture, and also in illumination and doors.

The triangle patterns on the wall of the clinic are made of three materials, plaster wall, PVC panel and typical Portuguese wool textile known as Burel. The Burel is applied   in the wall with the same pattern, worked as absorbent of noise, odor and dust.
