The design incorporates wood framing and translucent glass partitions to maintain privacy while allowing light to filter through.

Monkland Orthodontic Clinic, Montreal
Monkland Orthodontic Clinic, designed by interior design firm Atelier Échelle (Montreal), transforms an orthodontic clinic in the Notre-Dame-de-Grâce neighborhood of Montreal into a warm, homelike space.
Located in a century-old building, the 830-square-foot clinic combines modern medical functionality with original architectural features. For example, the reception area resembles a living room, complete with custom velvet seating and warm-toned flooring. A fireplace, preserved from the building’s original design, adds a sense of domestic comfort, while a finely crafted walnut desk introduces contemporary elegance.
In the clinical areas, fluted glass partitions maintain privacy while allowing light to pass through. The ceiling features wooden boxes to conceal equipment while offering visual interest for patients.
White oak and walnut mill work tie the interior together, creating a comfortable and intimate atmosphere that redefines the typical clinical experience.
