Bayshore Dental
Architect: Johnsen Schmaling Architects
Location: Whitefish Bay, Wisconsin
Category C: Renovations/Remodeled: Primarily built within existing hospital or clinical space.
This project is the ambitious reinvention of an abandoned building and its transformation into a state-of-the-art clinic for a young dentist and her small staff. The project’s rigorous architecture and meticulous details echo the ethos of the flawless efficiency, uncompromising precision and exacting purity at the center of the innovative dentistry performed here. Procedural flow strategies informed the clinic’s overall layout. A continuous ceiling plane leads patients from the light-filled reception to the individual operatories, each marked by green vertical panels and light strips that animate the clinic’s central corridor. White oak cabinetry and green accents complement the intentionally restrained interior palette, all contributing to a deliberately serene ambiance intended to appease a sometimes-apprehensive clientele.
