Best Implemented Interior Design Project for Public Space
About the project
The concept of Impress is aimed at young audience, thus, Impress looked for a fresh design, moving away from the topics of a dental clinic.
The design enhances the geometric characteristics of the premises, which, although reduced in depth, offered generous height. Thus, the proposal reinterprets the Impress logo, a smile-like curve, to generate a set of interconnected partitions to form a large furniture assembly that meets functional needs: two studies, (at ground floor and mezzanine), and a toilet. This set moves two meters away from the façade to establish a reception area in close contact with the street, allowing the interior to be enjoyed from outside; and likewise, it moves away from one of the boundary walls to allow access to staircase to mezzanine and basement. The geometry of these partitions is based on circumference curves that go up to take the height of the upper floor, increasing the sense of depth and space by creating different ‘curtains’ in space.
