Elazığ Dental Health Center – ADSM

Settling to its site, the building consists of two separate masses aligned to the borders. One of the main motivation of the design team is to separate the areas of dental examination spaces and additional services. The alignment of the masses is split by the glass transparent circulation that can be viewed from far and by this move the building shows its characteristics of being an inviting health facility.

The four-story building is one of the biggest heath centers of Elazığ and the provenience. Including a surgery complex within, the dental health care center hosts 14 dental examination rooms. The top floor of the clinic is hosting VIP services including post operation rest rooms. Planning the layout each floor having its own waiting area and secondary circulation within the floor has been one of the primary concerns. By this approach the facility’s private and public spaces are subtly separated providing privacy. The vertical circulation within the building is directly connected to the waiting areas and primary services.

The building welcomes its visitors on the ground floor with a total transparent entrance and a waiting room. The reception is located in the middle of the entrance accompanied with a private consultancy room that stands out in the middle as a private area. The façade stones vertical character is also showing itself within the usage of vertical stones inside the dental clinics interior design. The clinic rooms are left transparent allowing the daylight in. Spacious dental examination rooms each have a doctor’s consultation point inside the clinic. The top floor of the complex has clinics public resting rooms and staff areas. The facilities like eating, resting, changing and meeting are located on this floor enhancing the doctor’s interaction and productivity.
