Calm the World
To patients, waiting in a dental clinic is usually anxious and longer than expected. The design team proposed that a calm waiting ambiance is the key. A spacious high ceiling lobby functioned as the reception and waiting area was then created for patients’ first impression. They use a groin vault ceiling, simple wood moldings and the marble grid floor to promote the ambiance of an old school library, where one can always seek for his own calmness. The multi-use office for staff also has a luxury view of a modern chandelier hanging from the groin vault lobby in the city street background.
