·         “This dental office feels high end for the budget that was given. It has a nice mixture of texture and scale within each space. The built in desks for the staff give a home-like feel that would be compelling to work in. The natural light for the patients is a wonderful feature to help release anxiety during procedures. Overall, this design is thoughtful to all users of the space to create a positive environment for a place that most people do not like to go.”

·         “A wonderful use of natural materials with maximum use of natural light.  An environment that would comfort patients and engage curiosity of materials.”

·         “What a great floor plan! Nice thought went into the layout. The mix of contemporary and rustic elements worked well as the floor plan created the perfect way of enabling the balance. A fun play with textures!”
