01 / The conversion

Understanding the scale of change.

An office-to-dental conversion changes how rooms need to perform. These illustrations contrast a conventional office shell with the coordinated clinical services a dental fitout typically requires. Together they frame the central process question: how can a familiar shell be reorganised around clinical use?

02 / Point of arrival

From construction logic to finished expression.

The reception studies explore a warmer, clearly defined arrival for the practice. The pair moves from an installation study to a 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 presented in place of the former office.

The presentation premise is the office-to-dental conversion; the delivered outcome is not yet owner-confirmed. The set then turns to two essential room types: treatment and sterilisation. In these concepts, 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 final concept closes the story 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.
