Information

This project earned Berlin based Studio Karhard a 2019 FRAME design award for 'Healthcare Centre of the Year'. Studio Karhard were invited to design the offices for a Berlin dental practice. Located at a very busy intersection near the tram street and S-Bahn Metro, they thought it logical to dub the practice, 'The Urban Dentist'. Conceptually they wanted everything to be focused on the individual experience so they based the scheme around a concept store or a cocktail bar rather than a traditional dental surgery. Marmoreal was used strategically throughout the reception and surgery rooms to bring some colour and uplifting spirit. The uniquely faceted reception counter was made using 2cm thick black Marmoreal slabs. The private surgery rooms are defined by custom, brass framed, pink powder linoleum and worktops made from our classic Marmoreal, white slabs.
dzekDzek creates original architectural products guided by nature. Our materials are developed in collaboration with designers, architects and material scientists with radical perspectives on resources and design systems that complement and challenge our own points of view. We work on a variety of scales, studying and reinterpreting traditional craft processes and industrial manufacturing to transform raw materials into useful products suitable for architecture and design. This transformation is led by experimentation and our desire to understand the behaviour of elements under conditional influence rather than working towards specific aesthetic outcomes. We believe that great architecture is made from elements that tell a story about their time and place. Through these stories we can peel back the layers to reveal the true value of things. Our approach to making respects the achievements of the past while aspiring to advance future possibilities. We aim to create products with artistic significance, and that allow architects and interior designers to forge meaningful new relationships between people and the spaces they occupy. We regularly support architects, designers, luxury brands and property developers to create project specific architectural materials and products. We’ve supported our clients through a range of activities that include concept, research, fabrication guidance and execution, and defining cohesive narrative structures that are brand consistent.
