Dental Office by Estudio Hago

29 May 2012 | 6 comments

Spanish architects Estudio Hago have completed a dental surgery with walls of rounded wooden panels and white-tinted glass.

The surgery occupies a floor within an office block in Málaga.

Treatment rooms are lined up along the north side of the building so that they can benefit from even levels of natural light.

Offices and consultation rooms arranged in a row along the middle and their translucent walls allow some of this natural light to penetrate as far as the waiting room and reception on the other side.

We've featured a few interesting dental clinics on Dezeen, including one modelled on a drawing of a set of teeth. See them all here.

Here's some more information from Estudio Hago:

DENTAL OFFICE

CONTINUOUS, CONSECUTIVE AND CONTIGUOUS

Spatial practices with white glass

This dental clinic is placed on the second floor of an office building. This project starts from seeing the clinic as a spatial complex and not as the combination of public and private fragments. In order to do so, we aim that several project and clinical aspects take part in the same spatial experience by organizing the flow of patients and the movement of medical personnel.

1. CONTINUOUS

Patients can perceive the idea of the clinic as a whole everywhere. The flow of people takes place all around the huge case made of translucent white glass going all over the clinic, from the reception to the waiting room and the medical rooms.

The flow of medical personnel fits into the batter of the vitreous wall. The medical activity takes place everywhere, from the inside of the case (laboratories and warehouse) to every single armchair in the medical rooms.

2. CONSECUTIVE

The functional programme becomes the image of the clinic, being the inside of the case the operations centre. The main uses follow in a consecutive way: reception-wait, perimetral corridor, laboratories-storage-sterilization-offices and medical rooms. The medical rooms are presented following the same plan and offering an infinite growth approach (as if there were three cases). These rooms are closed in order to accommodate the first visits and special treatments.

3. CONTIGUOUS

The spaces set out an organized exchange of materials, textures and reflexes that present contiguously different spatial experiences. The folded wood accommodates the waiting room and the reception. The high-gloss finishes flank the perimeter of the glass made case on the ceiling and on the floor.

We propose the powerful subtlety of changing the finish into the main figure in the space putting into dialogue the aesthetic area of the waiting room (with a domestic and soft finish) with the movement area of the vitreous perimeter (where the reflex shows the almost infinite in length and height space).

The result remains in the patient’s memory: a great space that represents a great medical team.

4. LIGHT EVERYWHERE

Glass and light form an alliance in order to cover all the spaces. The medical rooms are placed next to the perimeter of the façade (which is placed in the north) in order to take advantage of the constant natural lighting. The light is graduated through the glass so that it firstly floods into the working areas inside the case and then into the waiting areas.

Square openings form a grid of tiny windows through the screens of this clinic for hair restoration and removal in Tokyo by Japanese studio KORI architecture office and architect Arimoto Yushiro (+ slideshow).

G Clinic 7f is an extension to an existing clinic, providing a floor that's dedicated to male patients.

The perforated screens separate seating areas in the reception and waiting room, where blue, green and black sofas add colour to an otherwise white space.

Small squares also pierce holes in the surface of the reception desk and pale grey squares are painted onto the walls.

Other clinics we've featured include a dental surgery with rounded wallsand a clinic in a shopping centre.

Here's some text from KORI Architecture Office:

G Clinic 7F

After G clinic 8F was open, a doctor expanded floor space to 7th floor only for male hair restoration medical treatment because number of male patients increased more than a doctor expected.

As for hair restoration medical treatment, the time doctor spends with a patient is short. So there are many patients who are waiting for consulting and accounting. The voids on MDF(t=15mm) panels are arranged as to control meeting of eyes of patients and staff.

Void patterns is expanded on the sliding door, shelfs and wall paper. These layered patterns give feel of depth and sense of privacy.

An uncompromising grid of square rooms and courtyards makes up this dental clinic in Gunma, Japan, in our third story in the last week from architect Hironaka Ogawa (+ slideshow).

Chiyodanomori Dental Clinic by Hironaka Ogawa

A total of 55 squares give the building its rectangular plan. Large square doorways open rooms out to one another, creating a layering of spaces that can be used in various configurations.

Ten square courtyards are dotted around the building and are visible through square windows that match the proportions of the doorways.

"While aiming for a functional and rational plan, I encountered ambiguous relationships between outside and inside conditions that generated a mysterious depth in the space," explains Hironaka Ogawa. "The diversity in light and space was created unintentionally by the 55 cells inside of the structure."

Three treatment rooms sit in a row through the centre of the grid, while offices and waiting rooms run along either side. The flexibility of this layout allows for more treatment rooms to be added at a later date.

The roof of the building pitches upwards towards one end to create a variety of ceiling heights.

"One can experience diverse feelings in each and every space because of the dissimilarities in each cell's heights, natural lighting and volume," adds the architect.

A two-storey residence is also included in the building and sits beneath the peak of the roof. Here, rooms wrap around an additional rectangular courtyard.

Hironaka Ogawa set up his studio in 2005. His projects include awedding chapel in Gunma and a house with trees inside in Kagawa.

See more dental surgeries on Dezeen, including a clinic filled with stripy glass screens.

Here's the full project description from Hironaka Ogawa:

Chiyodanomori Dental Clinic

This is a dental clinic accompanied with a housing project.

The conditions required were: to make the clinic and housing into one building, to create three individual treatment rooms and a couple of rooms that are able to alter into treatment rooms in the future for the clinic, and to provide the treatment area wide spread feelings while keeping its privacy.

For the housing section, the client wanted to have a pleasant view of the sky. Other than these conditions, locating openings also needed particular attention in order to maintain enough natural lighting levels in the building; the site suffers from strong winter wind and is famous for the hottest temperature record in Japan during the summer.

First of all, I made a rule to create a 2.7m x 2.7m cell that is needed for the individual treatment area. I placed the cells in grid inside of a walled box and located a couple of courtyards to get sunlight while considering their relations to each cell.

By doing so, fifty-five cells were created on the plane. I let the building be seen as one volume by employing a hip roof and laid the second floor of the housing in the hipped or inclined section.

The clinic and a part of the housing have different ceiling heights created by the slanted roof, and the courtyards' varying depth creates natural light gradations. Therefore, there would be diversities in spaces.

The plan is fairly ruled by a 2.7m grid. However, one can experience diverse feelings in each and every space because of the dissimilarities in each cell's heights, natural lighting and volume.

While aiming for a functional and rational plan, I encountered ambiguous relationships between outside and inside conditions that generated a mysterious depth in the space. The diversity in light and space was created unintentionally by the fifty-five cells inside of the structure.
