Striking in its futuristic aesthetic, with soaring floor-to-ceiling glass elements, crisp white interiors, and dramatic raw concrete accents, Dr. Evelyn Pötter's new orthodontic practice represents a refreshing departure from conventional clinic design. Building on the success of her established practice in Markt Schwaben, the dental correction specialist recently opened a second location in the Munich area. She secured an ideal space in a new building in Ismaning—215 m² across ground and upper floors, plus an additional 85 m² reserved for the planned second phase of expansion.

Düsseldorf-based design firm Göke Praxiskonzepte carried their innovative, timeless vision through every room: The luminous, meticulously appointed ground floor houses reception, waiting areas, four treatment rooms, an X-ray facility, and administration—with additional treatment and patient hygiene zones planned for the future. Staff areas, management offices, and in-house dental laboratory occupy the upper level. What immediately captures the eye is a striking "sky" of white cubes suspended at varying heights above the entrance—a sculptural statement designed by Hartwig Göke and masterfully executed by specialist craftspeople. Integrated lighting bathes the reception area in a welcoming glow, illuminating the pristine rounded counter. Custom-built storage elements with seamless white fronts create an understated, organized entrance experience. The vision for this distinctive ceiling came directly from the orthodontist; through collaborative dialogue and inspired by the suspended ceilings of airports and luxury hotels, the team developed this "cuboid sculpture." The flooring throughout provides essential warmth, countering the minimalist palette with a refined oak aesthetic. Durable and hygiene-compliant, this design finish contrasts beautifully with the raw concrete elements framing walls and ceiling. The masterstroke: those dramatic concrete surfaces are sealed for lasting durability—resistant to wear and discoloration over time. The entrance's sculptural concrete wall becomes gallery-like under precision spotlighting, showcasing the practice's branding and identity. Classic designer furnishings and bespoke white shelving—again, custom-crafted by the same carpenter—complete a cohesive design narrative realized over nine months of construction. Particularly compelling is the dialogue between the cubic ceiling elements and the geometric rigor of the glass partition separating the waiting area—a sophisticated interplay of form and function.
