It’s important that patients feel relaxed as soon as
they arrive at the dentist. A practice design that
successfully combines form and function is a
key factor in patient satisfaction and well-being.
A considered combination of colours and materials
as well as harmonious lighting and good acoustics
will have a positive influence on the atmosphere.
This is all the more important for dental practices, as
many people tend to feel a bit uneasy on visiting the
dentist. A trusting relationship with the practitioner is
central to the success of the treatment and an inviting
practice design can also reduce patient anxiety and
allow them to relax. A stylish, aesthetically appealing
concept for interior design and choice of materials is
also an essential factor for employee satisfaction in
the workplace. Such considerations played a role in
the design of the new hamburg dein zahnarzt practice.
Since 2021, dentists Athanassios Mouratoglou and
Dr. Spyridon Danias have been offering their patients
premium dental treatment in an impressive setting. The
practice is flooded with natural light and is located in
the heart of Altona, Hamburg’s northernmost district.
The light beige colour of the norament 926 castello flooring fits the modern ambience perfectly. The slightly
marbled rubber tiles and the new two-tone surface
combine an aesthetic of purist minimalism with maximum
functionality.
The hamburg dein zahnarzt practice is located in an old,
renovated building with spacious rooms, high ceilings
and plenty of windows. “The unique architecture
means that the rooms exert an effect of their own”
explains Mouratoglou. Plenty of natural light and
artificial lighting create a fusion with the white walls
and light-coloured flooring to produce a clean ambience
throughout. “With its warm beige and subtle marbling,
norament 926 castello is the perfect fit for our design
concept”, says Mouratoglou. The floor’s rustic aesthetic,
which is reminiscent of concrete and limestone,
conveys calm and elegance. “We ran a trial installation
beforehand and were thrilled with the unobtrusive
nature of the flooring”, continues Mouratoglou. The
norament 926 castello colour palette comprises eight
warm, easily combinable shades of grey and beige.
This neutral foundation lends itself to accentuation
with strong colours, and this is exactly what the
hamburg dein zahnarzt practice has done. “We
deliberately added just a few accents of colour in the
practice rooms”, explains Mouratoglou, “such as the
green treatment chairs for example.”
Aesthetic appeal meets functionality
With norament 926 castello, no two tiles are the
same; every tile is unique. The rubber flooring is often
mistaken for stone. “We receive extremely positive
feedback on the floor from our patients time and
again”, reports Mouratoglou. “A practice designer has
already looked at our space as a successful example
of flooring design”.
“norament 926 castello offers a synthesis of timeless
urban design and high functionality”, says Martina Hoock,
Senior Segment Manager Healthcare and Education
at nora. “While the high-quality aesthetic and durability
of the 3.5 millimetre-thick tiles are similar to those of a
stone floor, they also have the ergonomic and acoustic
advantages of rubber’s elasticity.” The rubber flooring
also offers convincing robustness and long life.
Its dense surface requires no coating and can be
completely disinfected and cleaned easily and
economically. Like all nora floorings, norament 926
castello has been awarded the Blue Angel (the ecolabel of the German Federal Government) and
contributes to good indoor air quality.
So, there it is: you can visit the dentist with a smile on
your face! The friendly, clear design of the hamburg
dein zahnarzt practice is professional, inviting and
conveys a stress-free, positive atmosphere. And it’s in
no small part due to norament 926 castello’s attractive
design.
