For this start-up orthodontic practice in downtown Bellevue, the client wanted an energizing, kid-friendly space that still felt comfortable and welcoming for adults. A neutral base palette keeps the atmosphere calm, while pops of color add vibrancy and personality. To address the challenge of low ceilings, we painted them black to create the illusion of height and added suspended acoustical panels in playful colors—improving sound control while doubling as a design feature. A serene break room provides a quiet retreat for staff, balancing the dynamic energy of the patient areas.
