- Production 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.
- Design 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.
- Project Duration
- The project finished in August 2024 in Taiwan.
- Operation Flow
- 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.
