A picture of minimal design elegance, functionality and flexibility, this clinic was formerly a large 360 sq metre commercial office. Today it accommodates a busy team of four orthodontic professionals and an artist. An elegant studio has been designed as an extension of the offices to the rear.

Visitors are welcomed with a spacious open plan, reception-lounge area with a futuristic feel. The glowing centrepiece , a circular arrival desk trimmed in white, is like a large flying saucer. Its translucent, tangerine PVC surface, is softly backlit and highlighted by several wall panels also in orange and illuminated in the same ethereal way. The minimalist charm is played out in white ceilings beautifully studded with thin circular shapes of stencilled lighting that seem to hover above.

The main feature wall is dramatically textured with a series of contrasting rice paper panels, one with blue-grey gum leaves, the other with straw coloured grasses. The lounge area flanks reception to the right with a selection of Italian pod chairs in burnt orange, yellow and cream. For conversational grouping, each of these sits snugly around seamless glass coffee tables which look sideways to a garden walkway outside, through floor to ceiling glass windows.
