Smile Dental Clinic

Smile Dental

Smile is the interior design of a dental clinic in Taipei, Taiwan. The 400 square meter space occupies the second floor of a street corner building and receives daylight from three sides. The existing palette of black, white and gray is softened with beige tones. The reception wall is finished in hand-applied paint that fades from gray to white. A curved light channel in the floor guides visitors, and glass blocks diffuse soft light. Mineral coatings, quartz, mirrored metal and curved forms are used, and all finishes are easy to clean.

Smile Dental Clinic by PAO-CHIEH CHOU, TZE-HSIN SUN has been selected as an exceptional representation of architectural design by the A' Design Award. Smile Dental Clinic earned the Silver A' Design Award in Interior Space and Exhibition Design in 2026. The A' Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design Award is an international, meritocratic, just and fair design prize that rewards superior design of residential interiors, restaurants, hotels, offices, galleries, retail stores, showrooms, exhibition spaces and more.
