n Architecture Inc. was commissioned to design Glover Family Dental. The clinic is located at 627 Froats Street, near the intersection of O’Brien Road and Froats Street in the Town of Renfrew, Ontario. The 3,600 sqft two-storey dental clinic is designed to accommodate a variety of dental services in a comfortable and relaxing environment. The dental clinic is designed with an urban barn style, pairing rustic and traditional building forms with modern elements and materials. The objective of designing the clinic in this approach is to construct a new building that would be consistent with the existing building typologies and ultimately create harmony with its surroundings.

The roof is pitched and faced with dark charcoal colored shingles, and extends outwards overhanging the entrances with dark wood column supports. The exterior façade is designed with bright white siding and accented with brick of various grey tones. Significantly sized windows are placed along the facade to offer a surplus of natural light while creating a visual connection with both the interior and exterior.

The building’s plan extends across the ground floor and the basement, where public areas are found on the ground floor and private amenities are located in the basement. The reception area, consultation room, offices, laboratory, sterilization and pan room are designed as the core of the ground floor plan. Along the back wall are 7 operation and hygiene rooms.
