Berlin office J Mayer H Architects have completed the interior of the Brauner Wegner Priehn dental practice in Hamburg, Germany.
The space is divided by plasterboard forms in blue and brown, and furnished with polyurethane foam chairs.
A wall that divides the waiting area from one of the examination rooms can be rotated out of the way, allowing the space to be used as a medical auditorium.

The information below is from the architects:
–
The centre for dentistry is situated in a medical center in Hamburg St. Georg, close to Hamburg’s lively downtown.
Free standing core elements divide the open space into different programmatic zones. These elements host independent workstations, an x-ray room and different other medical facilities.
One rotating element next to the waiting area transforms a closed examination room into a stage for a medical auditorium.
Sloped tops of the cores contain indirect lighting with integrated luminous ceilings.
The color scheme in blue and brown shades moves freely from floor to wall to ceiling and gives the illusion of an endless space continuum.

A bit too scary for a dentistry, isn´t it?
Some StarTrek o.k., but a dentistry???
Ouch!!!

Great execution, but a bit too sci-fi indeed for a desntistry!
In any case I would rather endure the pain in a cool environment…

Not as clean as before

Finally a good reason to pay a visit to the dentist

Very nice but makes you wonder how much a filling is going to set you back.
May 15th, 2009 at 2:59 pm
Not as clean as before I agree. However some minty fresh mouth wash over the walls would aid in the quest for cleanliness.
Interesting relationship between the many architectural curves and the viscous property of aquafresh toothpaste?

Another supert piece of architecture by J. MAYER H. Architects…but Dupli Casa is still their greatest!

just the thing to distract you from the looming root canal..

The colours are relaxing. But I am a bit sceptical about the chairs.
May 16th, 2009 at 4:42 pm
AIR, AIR, AIR or better: LUFT, LUFT, LUFT
The ass will ache more than the teeth, sitting on those chairs!

is this case i guess the architect missed out, not his client’s brief but, his client client’s one… if i make myself understandable…
May 17th, 2009 at 5:46 am
yes!
please drill my teeth mr dentist!!!!!!
May 18th, 2009 at 2:13 pm
the plans looks like a palet with decaying teeth!! ha ha !
good though, I quite like it. It gives us a break from these gloomy rooms…. “don’t worry, it won’t hurt you” sort of thing.
And for once, a dentist is spending their enORMOUS wages towards their clients…

I like the concept, but those colors and those chairs. In trying to make dentistry cool, it’s really more annoying. A little too hysterical to trust getting a root canal.
