360 Post is the design for Dr. Thomas Bridges’ new dental suite at Union Square in San Francisco.
The design creates an expansive sense of space and volume from a limited floor plan through the integration and layering of program, light and innovative materials of varying translucencies. The design draws natural light from existing floor to ceiling windows deep into the space and defines areas without enclosing rooms by utilizing ‘L-shaped’ plan components (translucent walls, cabinets and built-in seating). Wall dividers made of fiberglass and aluminum composite panels provide privacy while allowing light to filter through. The space is completed by wrapping the rear and side-walls with a manufactured wallpaper – wood veneer engineered to simulate Nigerian Ebony.
All aspects of the office, from the millwork and the built-in furniture to light fixtures and equipment supports, were custom designed by nottoscale, creating a harmonious space in which every detail of the project complements the overall concept.
