CATEGORY 90 AUSTRALASIAN DENTIST SURGERY DESIGN & FITOUTS Dr Chris Orloff is the owner and principle of Class 1 Orthodontics, one of Perth’s leading orthodontic providers. Class 1 now comprises seven practices in Western Australia with the latest, a beautifully executed design and fitout adjacent to WA’s parliament building. For the design and fitout of each of his practices, Chris has returned to Medifit Design & Construct, a company that regular readers of this publication will recognise. “Since I completed my first practice at Rockingham in 2008, Medifit have been rock solid and always deliver an excellent result. They understand what I want and need from each of my practices and they know how to make it happen. I’ve been a happy customer for many years. I trust the Medifit team to get it right and the results speak for themselves.” Chris’s vision for Class 1 Orthodontics has always been a suite of practices that offer a consistent, high quality experience to patients and their families in an environment that encourages interaction and enjoyment. Patients make many visits to the practice over the course of their Class 1 West Perth orthodontic treatment and a familiar and welcoming environment for patients and their families helps to foster positive interactions with the practice. The design of the new West Perth practice echoes the distinctive timber theme developed for other Class 1 practices, giving the new practice a contemporary look with timber features and curves throughout lending the space a natural feel. The practice covers approximately 250 m2. A beautiful courtyard garden leads patients to a generous waiting area. Custom circular entry and exit pods take the place of a traditional reception counter and facilitate the smooth flow of patients through the waiting room. The new six-chair practice consists of two private consulting rooms with an open treatment area containing four chairs arranged for both open and semi private treatments. The open treatment area is also home to the steri, allowing for quick and easy access to equipment and a brush station for patients to refresh and recover post treatment. A small standing consult room lies adjacent to the waiting area for brief consultations and checkups. The practice also houses a lab, staff room, plant room, IT nook and ample storage for additional equipment and supplies. Class 1 West Perth is located adjacent to an occupied residential apartment complex and this posed significant restrictions on construction activity.
