Design Details
- Unique Properties
- The project departs from conventional dental design, drawing inspiration from hotels, cafes, and galleries. The first-floor reception features terrazzo floors, metal displays, four-meter ceilings, and an LED wall for events. The second floor showcases a transparent lab with clean white lines. The third floor evokes a cafe with warm tones, curves, and banquette seating, while the fourth floor uses deep wood and art for gallery-like sophistication. Hygiene and tailored lighting ensure comfort and professionalism throughout.
- Inspiration
- Located in Zhongzheng District, Taipei, this four-story dental clinic is organized through 'departmental zoning and stylistic guidance.' Each floor has a distinct identity. The first floor is an open, hotel-lobby-inspired reception, the second floor uses white and blue for clinical precision, the third floor features youthful, contemporary tones for aesthetic dentistry, and the fourth floor employs dark marble and deep wood for surgical trust. The design balances hospitality with medical professionalism.
- Research
- Located in Taipei, Jinshan Smile Dental spans four floors and 875 m2, combining hospitality with healthcare under 'departmental zoning with aesthetic orientation.' The first-floor gallery-style reception features high ceilings, glass, and art. The second-floor labs express precision, the third-floor cafe-style area appeals to younger patients, and the fourth-floor surgical suites use dark marble and private circulation for trust. Medical-grade details and green strategies are seamlessly integrated throughout.
- Challenge
- The main challenge was balancing aesthetic goals with strict medical standards. Seamless flooring demanded precise welding for levelness and durability. Clinical spaces impose stricter codes than commercial interiors, so reducing the institutional look without compromising requirements was critical. Material and labor shortages added complexity, requiring close coordination to achieve a design that harmonized style, compliance, and constructability.
- Realization and Technology
- The design merges medical logic with refined materials, including leather, titanium-coated sheets, wood, stone, sculpted white surfaces, antibacterial laminate, and mineral paint. Terrazzo is used professionally on the first-floor floors and walls. The second floor combines light surfaces and clean lines for depth. The third floor blends soft curves, warm tones, and metallic accents for cosmetic dentistry, while the fourth floor uses dark marble and tailored lighting to evoke serenity and trust.
- Operation and Interaction
- Each floor's distinct visual identity guides visitors intuitively to their treatment type, enhancing navigability and departmental clarity. The third-floor cafe-inspired ambiance appeals to younger patients, while the fourth floor's serene tone attracts mature patients. Staff praises the design for storage, lighting, and circulation. The project was planned from the perspective of assistants and physicians to ensure functionality aligns seamlessly with daily workflow.
- Project Duration and Location
- The project finished in August 2024 in Taiwan.
- Specifications
- Spanning four floors and 875 m2, the clinic is connected by a private elevator, with a dedicated lobby on each floor linking to waiting areas. Fire doors define zones while preserving intuitive flow. All treatment rooms are private suites for confidentiality and noise control. The first floor serves as reception and waiting, and can host events with flexible furniture arrangements, allowing future reconfiguration without compromising function or circulation.
