The World’s Coolest Dental Clinic

Friday, October 5th, 2007

Perhaps it struck me as brilliant because I was just at the dentist, but how incredibly cool is this place. A dental clinic in Berlin. No cold, clinical setting. More to look at while in the chair than the pinpoint holes in the ceiling tile. If more clinics considered design and atmosphere, it could go a long way towards making the dentist visit less dreaded.

The 10,180-square-foot clinic (called KU64 after its Kurfürstendamm address) is located in Berlin and was designed by the hot firm, GRAFT, the same people that were behind Berlin’s new super lifestyle Hotel “Q”.

The incredible design makes you feel like you’re in an A-list Hollywood members bar – certainly not the usual ambiance associated with utilitarian spaces like this one which houses eight dentists. The cocoon like spaces are filled with light, creating an elegant sense of flow and space. It makes even a session of root canal seem inviting.
