The challenge
Smile2Impress came to us with the task of setting up their first UK branch. Setting up shop in lively Spitalfields, the orthodontic specialists wanted to bring serious wow factor with their vibrant red tones and designs. With only seven weeks on the clock, we got to work! Co-ordinating different schedules to make sure high-level and low-level services were installed was no easy feat, paired with CQC and sustainability requirements meant we had a lot on our plate. But it was nothing that we couldn’t handle.

The solution
By fitting in their staple arched, cherry walls, this was a gentle nod to their origins in their first Spanish clinic design in Barcelona. Paired with a clean, minimalist back-of-house model, this helped to create a calm vibe for the space. To make this all work, serious co-ordination was at the heart of the project, so we held plenty of meetings with sub-contractors, checking lighting and mechanical systems to make sure they were energy efficient and working with dental suppliers to ensure we had the right equipment were just a few of the ways we perfected the space.
