Roots

The project “Roots Dental Clinic”, with a total area of 70 square meters, is located in Athens within the vicinity of the Music Hall. Since the dental practice’s expertise is endodontics, the patient usually has a disturbing feeling of uneasiness when entering the clinic. Therefore, the main concept is all about creating an environment in which the patient would come in contact with natural elements as a scenography and provide him with a feeling of calmness and tranquility.

The materials used are stone and wood, as well as stucco finishings on the wall, which practically create a buffer zone among the natural elements and relax the patient. Following the same principles, softer conceptual lines are drawn, looking at the section but also the top view of the clinic. For example, the dome, or the floating monolithic sitting area-secretary desk, which is enwrapped by various axes of motion, makes it comfortable and relaxing for the person waiting to be operated.
