An everything bagel for the brain. Substantive, layered, well-seasoned.
Summary
Montreal design studio Atelier Carle has created the OAKV dermatology clinic in Oakville, Ontario, with a focus on humanizing medical practice through thoughtful interior design. The 7,500 square foot clinic features warm materials like terrazzo, wood, and natural stone to create a calming environment that contrasts with typical sterile medical spaces. The design includes a terrazzo reception desk, wood-paneled walls, and carefully placed lighting to reduce patient anxiety. The clinic offers both medical and aesthetic dermatology services, with the design aiming to make patients feel more comfortable and relaxed during their visits.
