Centre for Dentistry Hamburg : Architecture Information

Completion of Centre for Dentistry 13 May 2009 J. MAYER H. Architects Centre for Dentistry Awarded ZWP Spezial Designpreis: "best overall concept" Based on its strong overall design concept the centre for dentistry "Brauner Wegner Priehn" is the winner of the Spezial Designpreis 09/2009 nominated by ZWP Magazine. The centre for dentistry is situated in a medical center in Hamburg St. Georg, close to Hamburg's lively downtown. Free standing core elements devide the open space into different programmatic zones. These elements host independend workstations, an x-ray room and different other medical facilities. One rotating element next to the waiting area transforms a closed examination room into a stage for a medical auditorium. Sloped tops of the cores contain indirect lighting with integrated luminous ceilings. The color scheme in blue and brown shades moves freely from floor to wall to ceiling and gives the illusion of an endless space continuum. Photos : Ludger Paffrath
