The Design

About Smile Design d'intérieur d'une clinique dentaire

Smile est l'aménagement intérieur d'une clinique dentaire à Taipei, à Taïwan. L'espace de 400 mètres carrés occupe le deuxième étage d'un immeuble d'angle et bénéficie de la lumière naturelle sur trois côtés. La palette existante de noir, de blanc et de gris est adoucie par des tonalités beiges. Le mur de la réception est revêtu d'une peinture appliquée à la main, dont le dégradé passe du gris au blanc. Une rainure lumineuse courbe intégrée au sol guide les visiteurs, tandis que des briques de verre diffusent une lumière douce. Des revêtements minéraux, du quartz, du métal miroir et des formes courbes sont mis en œuvre, et toutes les finitions sont faciles à nettoyer.

Behind the Design

Press Kit

Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.

Unique Properties: To preserve brand symbolism, the designer repurposed the original acrylic circular emblem and reinstalled it in the new lobby ceiling, symbolizing continuity and renewal. A standout feature is the reception wall, finished in gradient hand-applied paint that fades from gray to white, representing both dental purification and the flow of light. A curved light channel in the floor guides visitors, while glass blocks and organic contours echo tooth-like forms, reinforcing the brand's modern, refined identity.
Dimensions & Packaging: The 400 sqm clinic on the second floor enjoys 270-degree street-corner exposure, flooding the space with natural light. The design preserves original corridors while removing excess partitions to enhance flow and openness. The lobby was transformed into a striking reception area with a strong depth of field. Private treatment rooms, storage, and restrooms are positioned beyond the lobby, creating clear zones and smooth circulation, balancing continuity with modern innovation.

Production Technology: The palette builds on the brand's black, white, and gray, with beige added to soften the tone and maintain cleanliness and warmth. Materials were chosen for both aesthetics and hygiene, including mineral coatings, Mikado quartz, glass blocks, mirrored metal, and custom detailing, creating a refined industrial feel. All finishes are easy to clean and resist stains, helping reduce bacterial buildup. The lighting plan uses natural daylight to enhance tonal layers and support the concept of harmony between light and shadow.
Design Challenge: The main challenge was preserving the clinic's brand identity while introducing new elements. Designers prioritized environmental values by avoiding major structural changes, retaining reusable materials, and minimizing demolition waste. The owner's specific material and color preferences required balancing creative vision with practical needs. The low ceiling posed lighting and spatial challenges, which were carefully addressed through precise lighting design and thoughtful material transitions to enhance openness and comfort.
Research: The renovation of this Taipei dental clinic balances function and aesthetics, preserving its black-and-white identity while adding beige tones and metallics for elegance. Designers transformed challenges like low ceilings by guiding visitors from darkness to light via a glass block wall and curved lighting. Gradient-painted walls symbolize dental restoration. Key brand elements like the acrylic logo remain, while materials such as quartz, mineral paint, and mirrored steel ensure visual appeal and hygiene.
Inspiration: This project renovates an existing dental clinic to refresh its brand identity with a contemporary touch. Formerly defined by a monochrome black palette, the clinic, known for aesthetic treatments like whitening and veneers, embraced the theme 'Harmonizing Light and Shadow: A Rebirth of I Smile.' Beige tones were introduced to soften the space, while material transitions and lighting gradients create a sense of dynamic flow. The result reflects the clinic's evolution toward a refined, modern professional image.
Project Duration: The project finished in March 2025 in Taiwan.
Operation Flow: The owner praised the renovation for skillfully blending contrasting materials like mirrored metal and rugged stone into a cohesive design. This bold mix sparked a compelling visual dialogue. The project exceeded brand expectations and earned enthusiastic feedback from loyal clients, who described it as 'stunning' and 'refreshingly different.' Despite its modern feel, familiar elements and circulation were carefully preserved, showcasing the designers' meticulous attention to detail and thoughtful planning.
