A Dental Clinic designed for the Patient

Clínica Odontológica Acevedo Area del Paciente
Located on a busy street in Sant Boi de Llobregat, a neighboring city of Barcelona, this dental clinic has been designed to attract the attention of pedestrians and the abundant traffic. The premises were diaphanous and on street level, but rather small for the required program. On the other hand, it had a wide façade with a lot of visibility, which had to be taken advantage of.

The client had developed his business in a small nearby clinic. They now wanted a modern clinic that would keep their friendly local character while attracting new patients. They needed a strong and individual corporate image that would represent the values of the business and differentiate it from franchised clinics. All the corporate elements such as the logo, the facades, the exterior and interior signs and the signage have been developed under the direction of YLAB Arquitectos.

The design combines a professional and technological approach with a warm and calm atmosphere that contributes to creating a pleasant patient experience. The contemporary image is achieved with a predominantly white environment, with indirect lighting and curved partitions that optimize the distribution and create a fluid space. The graphite-colored accents on the facades and the signage contribute to creating a strong and contrasting image. Warmth is achieved through the use of warm materials and colors such as oak wood, upholstery and rugs.

Patient Care Area

The patient care area is formed by the entrance hall with the reception, the waiting area and a meeting room. The privacy of this area, located along the main façade, is preserved by rotating oak slats that allow lighting and visibility from the street to be adjusted, while providing a warm and quiet atmosphere.

The reception table, made to measure, welcomes the patient. From this position, the different areas of the clinic are controlled and assisted. This table has an adjacent sitting area for short more private conversations. The waiting area is at the back, in a more isolated area.
Warm materials such as oak wood, soft fabrics such as linen and light-reflecting limestone flooring create a bright and relaxed atmosphere that makes visiting the dentist easy. Light is another great pillar, the indirect LED lighting integrated into the ceiling recess favors the sensation of clarity and calm.

Waiting Room

The warmth of the wood and the curved lines create a welcoming atmosphere throughout the clinic. Special attention has been paid to the waiting room, furnished with rather domestic furniture, to create a calm area before the intervention.

Clinical Space

The dental area is separated by a curved wall illuminated by an upper perimeter light. This wall is a white solid partition for the different medical spaces with a transparent glass opening for the most representative spaces such as the meeting room and the office manager room.

The dental area includes three treatment rooms, a pan, a lab with sterilization and storage room, a private office and a small break room for staff.

The dental area is planned with a functional and programmatic rigor and without losing the aseptic character that should prevail in healthcare environments. Here, aesthetics is at the service of functionality. Traffic has been especially taken care of, so that the staff walks the shortest possible distance and avoid unnecessary crossing with the patient. Signage is equally important to guide the patient.

Spaces that Inspire and Connect

A sunny interior was created from a small, dark unit through radical interventions

Argentona apartment, located in an old building in barcelona’s gracia district
Spaces that Inspire and Connect de YLAB architects Barcelona
AR apartment living room 01
The project consist of the remodel of an apartment located in an old building in Barcelona’s Gracia district. The former apartment, was heavily partitioned with up to 6 rooms and gave off a dark appearance with almost no connection with the outdoor space.

The new owners, a Norwegian couple who love design and the city of Barcelona, had seen the potential of the sunny, ivy-covered courtyard and decided to buy it as a holiday residence.

They wanted to turn it into a bright and open space and create a semi-outdoor garden to overcome the lack of outdoor space.
We proposed a concept that frees up the space through important structural changes, opening the façade to the courtyard and reclaiming the historic gallery to be redesigned as a gallery garden. The new layout revolves around a central open L-shaped space, connected to the gallery-garden and the inner courtyard.

The layout concept is developed from the segregation of the classical functions into different sub-zones, more aligned to the owners’ particular way of living.

The gallery, featuring double windows both to the exterior and the interior, is also an open use space that can be used in different ways. Two large facing custom built planters, in the same natural sand stone as the floor, contain a lush garden that can be taken care of at a distance thanks to the Gardena Smart watering technology, totally concealed inside the planters.

The living room is divided into an inner zone, furnished with Carl Hansen lounge chairs and table, and a semi-exterior zone in the gallery-garden, furnished with Butterfly chairs and Kettal Table. the gallery, featuring double windows both to the exterior and the interior, is also an open use space that can be used in different ways. Two large facing custom built planters, in the same natural sandstone as the floor, contain a lush garden bringing greenery into the residence. The renovation transforms a once dark apartment into a bright and open home for the owners to enjoy a direct connection to the outdoors.

At the request of our customers, the living area accommodates a coffee, brunch and wine area behind hidden doors . In this way, the functionality of the room can be flexibly switched to the respective use. In the same way, the office space is divided into a desk area with a computer within the living room shelf system, and a movable desk with storage inside the vestibule area cabinetry.

Coffee & Tea Bar

YLAB Architects

The Coffee & Tea Bar is one of 3 service areas in this apartment created exclusively for our customers. The multifunctional furniture can be completely hidden.
The kitchen-dining is disintegrated into three sub-zones: the cooking and the washing zones, both in contiguous spaces inside a cabinetry at the front of the communal space and the breakfast zone, in a second angled cabinetry, with hidden space for little kitchen appliances and a removable worktop. All these zones revolve around this central space, furnished with flexible furniture islands, such as the dining table and the lounge chairs, that compliment each other.

The couple’s suite, equipped with large natural wood cabinetry, which integrates a folding table dresser, is placed in the inner area. The apartment achieves maximum storage due to the large floor-to-ceiling cabinetry at the perimeter and in substitution of the partition walls. The oak wood cabinets alternate with white lacquer wall clads, that allow for a flush installation of the swinging doors or hide the sliding doors, and indeed separate the different ambients in a subtle way. Both materials, wood and lacquer, combine to perfection with the protected natural Capri sandstone by Levantina that reflects the natural light and adds a warm cream tone.

Edge Innovation Center is a commercial work complex with over 1800 square meters. Located in Giza’s Galleria40, a brand-new retail and business complex, Edge is a new aspirational and status business destination in Egypt.

The client, Raya Lease Egypt, wanted to create a unique, high-end workplace environment, conceived to be Cairo's premier business and conferences facility. Edge provides a flexible, modern and premium workspace to entrepreneurs, individuals, start-ups, fast-growing businesses, large companies and agencies.

The work complex features a reception area, a large conference hall, diverse meeting rooms, seven flexible training rooms, a boardroom, modern offices in different sizes and co-working areas as well as state-of-the-art business services such as a cafeteria, lounge areas and a shop.

The design idea consists of three large central volumes placed in the center of the space, allowing for an open space all around. These elements, with their curved and sculptural shapes, allocate the functions that need a larger area, and hide the building vertical nuclei and the auxiliary spaces. The closed offices are placed along the facades and use glass partitions to give them a lighter look and let the light flow in. The project merges a rational organization with a free flow open space that seems to be floating along the floorplan.

terrace access to the house forrest views
Located in a beautiful valley in the south of the Maresme Mountains, this home was designed to capture the magnificent views of the coastal mountain range with pine and holm oak forests.
The clients, a Scandinavian family, wanted to create a dream holiday home with accommodations for their kids and guests: a unique, warm and comfortable contemporary space that would host an inviting and harmonious atmosphere.
The home was planned as two different volumes connected by a large terrace with a swimming pool and the front garden. The primary home is an elongated two-storey volume containing the main house that faces the terrace. The secondary volume consists of the garage and the guesthouse.
Home main façade Inner courtyard with plants Connection along the house
The main house captures the owners desire for calmed luxury and transparency to enjoy the views . On both floors, a large corridor along the main façade connects the spaces and allows an elongated view through the whole house. Natural light is pulled into the plan via large windows and a central patio.
The street level is comprised of the living room with an integrated dining area and the kitchen, both separated by a central entrance hall with the staircase. The upper level is composed of three children bedrooms with a play room and the master bedroom at the opposite side.

Communal Area

The spacious sun-drenched living room is formed by different settings that encourage get-togethers. A tobacco wood custom-made wall unit with integrated black steel fireplace, TV and sound system dominates the space.
The living area displays a cozy arrangement of light colored sofas and chaise longues, paired with black marble coffee tables, armchairs and ottomans over a beige silk rug. In the adjacent dining area, under a set of magnificent brass suspended lamps, a dark lacquered table is flanked by brass legged chairs.

Kitchen and Auxiliary Spaces

In the kitchen, a central unit with two side sliding doors, separates the kitchen from the rear located kitchen auxiliary areas. A large central island contains a cooktop and serves as an informal dining space. The bespoke kitchen is finished in a dark coffee lacquer finished with a Neolith worktop and backsplash in the same color.

The Master Suite

The master suite contains a dark coffee lacquered custom-made bed with leather headboard, brass side lamps and a silk rug that become the room’s major element. On the wall opposite the bed, there’s a grey sandstone paneled wall unit with a cut-out clad in brass and wood drawers, which hides the tv and storage space.
A large wood sliding door separates the sleeping area from the bath and closet. The central standing washbasin with mirror and two black tinted glass side doors give access to the more private areas.

Duplex penthouse next to the Central Park of Poblenou

Argentona duplex penthouse | YLAB™ architects Barcelona

Amazingly Stylish Duplex Penthouse

Dramatically reconfigured penthouse, creating a spectacular open-plan living space.

apartment located in Barcelona Poblenou Urban District
The Project consists of the comprehensive reform of a duplex penthouse in a new building next to the Parc Central del Poblenou by Jean Nouvel.

With different terraces on both levels and magnificent views over the city and the park, the property was the ideal accommodation for its owners, a young family of creatives from the world of music and fashion. The house had to be a gathering space to disconnect from work and travel.
The action proposes to separate the functions by floors, locating the kitchen, dining room, living room and guest room spaces on the ground floor access. The family bedrooms are organized on the upper floor around the larger terraces.
The living room, connected to a small terrace, is a soberly decorated environment whose rear wall is finished in a gray microcement very similar to that of the flooring. Aligned with this gray wall, a metal staircase made of iron plate and turnbuckles leads to the upper floor.

It has integrated flow regulation by means of 2 adjustable blades made of galvanized sheet metal. The lower part of the diffuser is designed to be fully integrated, minimizing the visual impact.
Functionally, the core forms the kitchen columns, which is complemented by an open work space in anthracite lacquer, and an island in the same material with an oak dining table.
  • Extractor hood smart control

    Exclusive Gutmann extractor hood smart control discreetly integrated in the kitchen island
  • Fully integrated fridge-freezer

    With the continuation of the wooden wall paneling across the built-in refrigerator, we create an elegant, unified look.

Exclusive Gutmann

Exclusive Gutmann cooker hood with external motor for absolutely silent operation. Discreet integration into the built-in furniture.
At the upper floor a small distributor gives access to the suite bedroom, a children's bedroom and a bathroom. To increase the feeling of warmth, the wooden flooring replaces the microcement throughout the floor. In the bedroom suite, an anthracite lacquered perimeter piece of furniture forms the wardrobes, incorporating the access door to one of the terraces and hiding structural elements of the property.
A second wooden core hides the bathroom and forms a niche that acts as a headboard for the bed.
