| Children’s Dental Care is the pediatric dentistry practice of George Hankerson, DDS, and Brent Kvittem, DDS. After building two office suites in multi-tenant buildings, the partners decided to develop a building to their own specifications. They found a prime location in a newly constructed shopping complex offering pad sites. The site they chose permitted construction of a multi-tenant commercial building designed around their pediatric dentistry practice.
The doctors sought interior design with strong appeal to young patients. With help from designer Diane Pahl Strapko, they choose to extend a jungle theme beyond the typical kid’s corner. Working with a mural artist and a museum display company, Diane created long curving walls for a panoramic jungle scene with a bamboo hut, stone bench, and a sculptural tree as focal point.
The doctors recognized that young patients often continue seeing them into their late teens; consequently, the office interior is designed to appeal to a range of ages. Colors and patterns complementing the jungle theme continue throughout the office, resulting in a coordinated interior appropriate for young and old. |
