Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

You Can Really Put Your Feet Up in This Dental Office Design

— October 2, 2014 — Eco
The look of this dental office space in Portland, Oregon is soothing and far from the sterile environments that many people have come to feel uncomfortable in. The Horacek Dental office is set up like a stylish home, complete with designer chairs, lots of cozy wooden elements and other quirky decor pieces.

In order to make the most of the space, especially since it has rather high ceilings, Fieldwork Design added recycled felt wool on the walls to help with acoustics. Other eco-friendly features of the space include the use of soy foam insulation, zero VOC paint, on-site gray water collection and skylights to bring in as much natural light into the dental office as possible.

3. Acoustic Enhancements for Dental Spaces - Incorporating sound-absorbing materials like recycled felt wool in dental office design can create a more peaceful and relaxing experience for patients while improving acoustics.
