Design Interview
What is the main principle, idea and inspiration behind your design?
The ERA Digital Dental Clinic is more than a clinic—it’s a futuristic experience inspired by digital innovation and the golden ratio. The design focuses on hygiene, functionality, and aesthetics, using materials like Corian for its curves and easy maintenance, premium metal furniture, and touch-free technology. Every detail creates a clean, modern space that invites mindfulness and reflects the future of healthcare.
What has been your main focus in designing this work? Especially what did you want to achieve?
My main focus was to create a space that balances cutting-edge technology with comfort and hygiene. I wanted to design an environment that feels welcoming and futuristic, while meeting the practical needs of a dental clinic. The goal was to achieve harmony between function and aesthetics, making both patients and staff feel at ease.
What are your future plans for this award winning design?
We’ve been invited by French media specializing in clinics to publish the project, and we’ve received several exciting proposals to showcase the design internationally. I look forward to sharing this work more broadly and continuing to innovate in healthcare design.
Grand Interview
Your innovative integration of binary code aesthetics and the golden ratio in Era Digital Dental Clinic Hospital creates a striking visual narrative - could you elaborate on how these mathematical principles influenced your spatial design decisions?
The binary code reflects the clinic’s connection to technology and precision — expressed through contrasts of light and material, transparency and reflection.The golden ratio guided the spatial proportions and organic geometry, creating balance, harmony, and a sense of refinement.Together, these principles shape a space that embodies both digital innovation and human sensitivity, perfectly aligned with the clinic’s vision of modern aesthetics and advanced care.
The seamless fusion of Corian surfaces throughout Era Digital Dental Clinic Hospital appears to serve both aesthetic and functional purposes - what inspired your choice of this material, and how does it enhance the patient experience beyond its antimicrobial properties?
I’m always researching new materials and technologies, and Corian immediately stood out for this project.Its seamless, sculptural quality perfectly supports the clinic’s clean, futuristic aesthetic — but beyond that, it offers a refined tactile experience that patients subconsciously associate with care and precision.So, while its antimicrobial properties ensure hygiene, its soft texture, continuity, and subtle reflectivity create comfort, calm, and a sense of sophistication — turning functionality into emotion.
Era Digital Dental Clinic Hospital's touch-free technology system represents a significant advancement in medical facility design - could you share the research and development process that led to this comprehensive contactless environment?
After Covid, the importance of touch-free technology in healthcare design became undeniable.For ERA Digital Dental Clinic, I focused on creating a completely contactless environment, where hygiene and innovation work together seamlessly.The system was developed through research on sensor-based technologies that minimize physical interaction, ensuring safety while maintaining an elegant, effortless experience for patients.It’s a space where technology discreetly enhances comfort and trust.
