Smile Dental
Smile is the interior design of a dental clinic in Taipei, Taiwan. The 400 square meter space occupies the second floor of a street corner building and receives daylight from three sides. The existing palette of black, white and gray is softened with beige tones. The reception wall is finished in hand-applied paint that fades from gray to white. A curved light channel in the floor guides visitors, and glass blocks diffuse soft light. Mineral coatings, quartz, mirrored metal and curved forms are used, and all finishes are easy to clean.
