KU64 Potsdam

There are few environments with more negative associations than dental clinics. The hygienic, sterile atmosphere, the obligatory “white color palette” and the distinctive smell are usually connected with a feeling of physical and psychological discomfort. With this in mind, we should be striving for a radical new understanding of both hospitals and dental clinics—moving away from negative reactions towards an atmosphere of well-being and relaxation.

The aim of the design was to enable patients to forget about their fears and relax in ways they would typically experience in a spa, cafe, restaurant or hotel. Why not embellish the reality of a dental clinic with experiences of beauty, health and wellness?

The design concept for the KU64 dental practice on Kurfürstendamm was developed based on evidence, with the aim of creating an atmosphere that helps patients to feel relaxed and at ease during their visit. This concept continues in the KU64 dental practice premises at the Palais Ritz in Potsdam and at Hausvogteiplatz in Berlin.

In both practices, lamella constructions made of real walnut veneer surround the rooms, creating a sense of security and warmth.
