ANJERS DENTAL

Facility

The premises of the future dental clinic are located in the Mendelson Residential Estate at the Petrogradskaya Side, not far from the Krasnoe Znamya Fabric.

The Mendelson House got its name from Erich Mendelson, a famous German architect who had designed a near-by powerhouse for the fabric built in the early 20th century. It is a listed monument of avant-garde architecture. Architectural solutions of the Mendelson House were inspired by constructivism, where functionality dictates simple solutions and hence geometrical austerity and rhythmical recurrence of lines. The volumetric-spatial solution is laconic and matches the near-by listed building.

Planning solutions

When working on the interiors of the dental clinic to-be, we followed the same principles: simple solutions, a connection to the historical context and environment, as well as compliance with standards and rules established for healthcare facilities.

The room has two entrances, which facilitated separation of two flows – doctors and patients. Medical rooms are located along the lighting front of the façade, and thus are filled with natural light. Moreover, we added some daylight to the corridor – a system of transom windows and glass doors made it look more spacious.

Finishing solutions

In finishing, we supported exterior appearance of the building, finding inspiration in tectonics of the power station at the Krasnoe Znamya Fabric. That was how our design got its rounded shapes with horizontal division: it helped to harmonize vertically extended proportions and add a functional border at the wall bottom to safeguard the surface from rapid wear.

To lighten the premises, we used built-in disk lamps, similar in shape to the windows on the facades of the residential complex. To produce a soft lighting effect and make our interior look
more relaxing, which is more typical for a SPA, we preferred to ceiling lamps some sconces with diffused warm light and integrated linear wall lamps at the ankle level.

The ceiling is made of oak veneered aluminum planks, which were used to hide all the engineering equipment. Thus, all the service stuff remained unseen for the visitors, with only the essential functions at the surface.
