“Our client is Bharuch's first Pediatric Dentist. So as per him, the brief was they wanted to make a space where their pedio patient should feel like their own space. From the first meeting, they were very clear with their requirements and their circulation. They briefed us so precisely about their everyday circulation which made our work easier. Even they were very clear with the budget part,” said the architect.

A community-focused practice, Sprout Pediatric Dentistry was designed with the patient in mind. They took a concept from a kid's perspective by keeping three spaces in mind.

1 Waiting room which is a public utility space

2 Doctor's consultation room is a little bit sophisticated and respectful to the doctor.

3. Kids operatory which is totally dedicated to kids.

So, these three different spaces are designed keeping in mind their prime aspects. And at the same time, all these spaces are interconnected in terms of the design concept.

There is no particular theme as picking a theme for a pediatric hospital is quite difficult than the normal hospital. Kids' areas are given animal themes to make them more appealing. These are designed to keep their innocent behavior in mind. Other areas are designed as per the people who are going to use them and for the visitors to make them feel comfortable and happy.

Clean, Vibrant and Welcoming Interiors

Upon entry, children and their families are greeted with a clean, colorful environment with plenty of wall activities and youthful touches throughout. As parental involvement was an important factor, the office maintains an adult-friendly, sophisticated design with ample seating in the treatment areas for parents to be a part of the visit.

“We think only by using new material a building cannot be innovative rather using an appropriate material and knowing its properties and then designing.”

"We have designed two different spaces for two different age groups. We have provided two different operators. One for kids and one for adults. Both have their own ambiance. All this we tried to achieve within their budget.”

Design Process

The firm deals with design from conceptual development and liaising with the stakeholders to managing and executing the design.

They wanted to design a space that would not feel like it is a typical hospital. but they have conceptualized and designed the space and ambiance in such a way that it would relieve the pain of the patient.

The firm employed pastel colours to change people's mindset and anxiety towards the surgery.
