On the ground floor of an apartment building, a former commercial space was transformed into ‘Tandkliniek Brugge’, a group dental practice. The main challenge was to integrate four individual practices into a cohesive and dynamic whole. To achieve this, the layout is organized around a double circulation system.

 

The first circulation route, intended for patients, is more public and runs through the center of the practice. Large, opaque doors, aligned with the rhythm of the interior walls, provide access to each of the four treatment rooms. The second route, designed for staff, is more discreet. Smaller glass sliding doors along the edges of the layout allow dentists and support staff to move directly between treatment rooms, sterilization areas, the reception, and private spaces without using the main patient corridor. To enhance openness and visual connectivity, fixed glass panels were installed above all interior walls, allowing natural light to penetrate deep into the space and visually link the rooms.

 

The entire layout is based on a modular grid, with a cross-shaped joinery detail as its structural basis. The space is painted entirely white to create a calm visual environment, with walnut accents providing warmth and contrast.
