Client Brief It had only been 4 years since we designed their first clinic, based out of Dubai Healthcare city. After such a huge success, Sameday Dental Implants knew that the formula to their victory was partly due to their perfect interiors and they chose non other than us for their next venture. Firstly, in order to be in sync with the client’s expansion plan, we had to find the ideal space on Jumeirah Beach Road, which was already haven for, all kindly of medical treatments. With that challenge, we set out to identify a fantastic location right opposite to the famous Burj Al Arab. It was a residential villa comprising of 4 bedrooms which was to be now transformed into UAE’s premier Dental Clinic / Spa’s, requiring a working environment for 5 doctors, staff areas for 15 members, a client/patient area for men, women and children, a management area, an acoustically regulated medical area and a medical patient area.

Design Description The aims of the project were to achieve a differentiating image, elegant while accessible, professional and fresh. The spaces had to be wide and bright; and the ambience warm and comfortable. When developing the design concept with the stated objective of offering patients an extra something, an organic distribution was proposed where all the functions would be placed in a unique continuous space that would suggest dynamism and a spacious feel. It was more of a re-interpretation of elements and the composition of the individual activities, which characterize a visit to the dentist. Therefore, the first decision at the planning stage was to place a round reception right at the heart of the project from where all other functions could be anchored. The round form representing the circle has no beginning or end. It’s comforting and gives a sense of sensuality and affection. The circulation around this form suggests energy and power. In design they work well to attract attention, provide emphasis, and set things apart. Also functionally we achieve a full 360-degree visual connectivity with all the spaces within the clinic. The reception area aka “The Shrine” is a central zone with a white, glossy appearance characterized by a big floating dome shaped crystal chandelier in the air, playing with the vertical amplitude of the space and imitates the idea of being under a small cathedral with a central shrine, giving the user a familiar sense of confidence and peace. The well roundedness and completeness of the neutralizing space suggests the infinite, unity, and harmony. From the entrance perspective, the round reception table is a very important element, because it leads the eyes of the observer into a more radial and polar position. This movement of the head reinforces the importance of the floating ceiling, and on the other hand brakes with the enclosure giving the user the real notion of the entire clinic. As we arrive at the entrance of the clinic, a waterfall feature welcomes us, which is multifaceted in its use. More than it being visually pleasing, the sound of the falling water evokes many emotions and soothes the visitor’s minds. On a more metaphorical sense, it can be seen as a cleansing of the spirit before entering “The Shrine” (Outdoor to indoor). This same language has been used along the staircase with a sweeping waterfall feature as a transition element between the ground floor and the first floor. The use of the circle as a form runs through the entire concept for the rooms. This along with the curved shapes and the indirect lighting, which goes through all the areas, convey the sensation of calm and balance both for patients and medical staff. The visitor right from the doorstep experiences the general tone, created by the use of the colour white. The stark white floor within the clinic creates a neutral and aseptic atmosphere contrasting with the warmth of the leather used for the waiting and relaxation areas. Grey tones area used in the form of carpets within the consultation and admin areas to control reverberation of sound. Solid surface resin was selected as the countertop material on all high gloss lacquered finish and the upholsteries on the dental chairs also were also made to match the clean theme. The space in the treatment rooms is defined by a visual horizon. An atmospheric density is achieved by using a circular cloud of light above each treatment chair imitating the purity of the sun over each patient. While the lower part is assigned the task of a sterile, white world of a dentist’s work. Here backlighting is created by pioneer use of OLED lighting modules, next generation sustainable light source produced with organic electroluminescent material that will help reduce CO2 emissions. The exterior of the building also had equal weightage as the way the interiors were dealt with. We wanted to be subtle in our approach to communicate with the pedestrian as well as the passerby in vehicles. Our strategy was to peel a skin from the façade of the building to create this angled wall, which would house the clinic signage that could be visually seen from the two traffic of the street in front. Every single detail experiences a subtle spatial presence, accentuating the abstraction and scalelessness of the ephemeral, monochromatic environment in a playful and poetical way.
