01 / The conversion
Understanding the scale of change.
An office-to-dental conversion changes how rooms need to perform. The rooms contrast a conventional office shell with the coordinated clinical services a dental fitout requires, and show how a familiar shell is reorganised around clinical use.
02 / Point of arrival
From construction logic to finished expression.
The arrival sequence moves from installation to finished detail, making the relationship between the curved form, timber rhythm, counter surface and concealed light easier to read.
03 / Clinical outcome
A dental practice in place of the former office.
The conversion carries through to two essential room types: treatment and sterilisation. Ordered storage, clinical equipment and a restrained material language keep the focus on daily use.
04 / Street presence
A visible identity for a new use.
The work closes at street level. Seafoam cladding, dark-framed openings and a circular window give the converted building a clear public face and make the change of use legible from outside.
