Elite repaired and polished the floors, bringing the original designs back to life. The flooring is a feature for the clinic, extending from the main reception and waiting areas to the hallway. Many clients comment on how unique and beautiful it is. For the surgeries and sterilisation areas, appropriate flooring that is suitable to meet infection control standards for the dental industry has been installed. Nature-inspired design The leafy design in the logo brings the freshness of nature to the new clinic. The logo ties the surroundings, the leafy suburb of Chelmer and the building together. The building is surrounded by greenery – as is the whole suburb – and a tree pattern features prominently across the wooden floor boards. Two new windows were added to the surgery areas to allow natural light to flow into those areas and to provide privacy for the business. Lighting The overhead lighting in the dental surgeries continue the natural design theme featuring trees and leaves. Different images are featured in skylights on the ceilings of each surgery, including a Jacaranda, Liquid Amber, blue skies and Japanese Ginko tree. The choice of leaves and trees fits well with the surrounding greenery to create a calming and soothing effect for the clinic. The light wood cabinets in the surgery areas are complemented by clean, white cabinetry. Reception and waiting area The teal green from the logo features on a wall in the reception area, and on the doors to the dental surgery and amenities. The colour beautifully offsets the marble-look reception desk and welcoming waiting area. “It felt like every member of Elite was ‘on-call’ for us and we were so happy and grateful for how accessible and helpful they all were. We would highly recommend them,” Linh Truong & Greg Waters – owners. u Learn more Are you looking to update your new or existing dental clinic?
