Dental Clinic in Nea Erythraia

Undoing typologies

The project concerns the renovation and expansion of a dental clinic, aimed at accommodating a greater number of patients. The clinic’s original area was 60m², while the final surface now reaches 85m².

Design Philosophy

The main concept was to create a space that conveys cleanliness, while simultaneously breaking the mold of typical medical spaces, as medical advancement should now be in harmony with architecture. The clinic features a comfortable waiting area, the central element of which is an oak table that visually extends into the office space and transforms into a workstation for the doctor. Vertical wooden elements frame the waiting area, with the wooden screens standing out as their arrangement subtly guides patients towards the examination rooms.

Spatial Organization

The office is enclosed by glass, designed with custom delicate vertical lines that ensure privacy while allowing light beams to enter, giving the impression of a constantly transforming space. Directly next to the office is the entrance to Examination Room 2, which is also internally connected to Examination Room 1 via a sliding door. For Examination Room 1, which was the new addition, a construction of vertical slats extends up to the ceiling, with dimmable LED strips placed in between at varying heights. This way, the patient’s experience -typically oriented toward the ceiling- changes radically.

Material Palette

The materials and tones used throughout, such as gray tiling and white-painted walls, play the most important role, as they allow continuous light reflection, resulting in a timeless space that radiates cleanliness.
