Clinic window on the street corner

Madrid, Spain

Impress Madrid Teens

The dental clinic sits on a busy corner where a row of huge granite blocks lines the street front, while slender wrought iron columns stand inside. The Spanish design team built the design on the contrast between these two porticoes.

A series of cylinders gathers along the inner party wall, playing with the iron columns by enclosing some and leaving others outside, and freeing a space along the granite for the lobby and waiting area in close contact with the street. The columns were painted red, lighter in spirit than the heavy stone. All treatment rooms are linked cylinders sized to need, and the private functions sit in the basement.

The waiting area is in grey linoleum and lacquer, with the granite blocks outlined by a red soffit. Red timber doors lead into the rooms, each coded in one of the brand’s three colours, red, grey and blue. Ceiling elements turn 45 degrees to echo the corner, and sales points are lined in carpet for comfort and acoustics.
