Origin Dental Clinic

Origin

Origin is a dental clinic interior in Taipei, Taiwan, planned for patients treated for sleep apnea through orthodontic care.

Curved surfaces soften the boundaries between floor, walls and ceiling, and the lighting creates a mild and safe atmosphere. The shapes were simulated in three dimensions and cut by computer controlled machines, then assembled on site and covered with curved plates. The layout keeps the movement and function of the medical equipment intact.
