   Challenge:

An opportunity to relocate an existing practice to a new development was the start of a new clinic design. Two condo bays would make up the footprint of the future clinic. The list of requirements was long: ideally seven operatories with two being closed, a consult room, reception space for three full time staff and plenty of storage space. A central sterilization and lab would provide efficiencies and a touch down area for three doctors was required. The square footage would not allow the complete list of areas requested.

   The Solution:

The two condo bays had high ceilings and a two story window in the front corner of the space. This would provide the solution of an open mezzanine added within the space at the back. The construction timeline would allow for the additional construction and the square footage would satisfy the space requirements for all areas on the wish list. The mezzanine would contain the staff room, doctor’s office, staff washroom and storage space. The main floor accommodated the operatories, central steri and lab, public washroom off the waiting room and a reception for three full time staff. The exit counter for the patients is found off the main corridor which creates a more private area for all exit procedures. Detailed paneling on the reception entrance wall and central steri wall outline the trees within the design. A white washed finish was applied over the red oak for a unique color and to enhance the natural grain. The two story waiting area is bright and welcoming and a coffee bar, fridge for chilled drinks and a television help ease the patient. The common flooring throughout increase the open concept and light colored paints are applied everywhere. The splashes of color are introduced in the lighting, furniture and artwork all themed around trees.

   RODI Results:

The addition of a mezzanine in this dental clinic project by Decca Design represents a significant RODI, effectively maximizing the available space to meet all staff and business requirements. The innovative use of the high ceilings and two-story window transformed the limited square footage into a functional clinic with all desired amenities. The mezzanine efficiently houses staff and administrative areas, while the main floor accommodates patient-centric spaces. The clinic’s design, with its tree-themed paneling, light colors, and strategic splashes of color, creates a bright and welcoming atmosphere. This intelligent spatial solution not only enhanced the clinic’s functionality but also provided a pleasing aesthetic, catering to both patient comfort and operational efficiency.
