US Army Dental Clinic

The Presidio Dental Clinic in Monterey takes full advantage of its coastal location using every opportunity available to capture stunning views of the overlooking bay. Expansive wall-to-wall windows provide open, naturally lit spaces that give warmth and appeal. The stucco and glass structure rests on a concrete base which is partially embedded into the hillside. A sweeping curved roof extends above the one-story facility emphasizing orientation to the bay and creating a large, open lobby and waiting space. Made of timber construction, the lobby’s curved ceiling uses an exposed structural system to mimic the curvilinear profile of the exterior roof. Warm neutral colors, contemporary lines and natural wood tones all combine to create an inviting and relaxing atmosphere for patients and staff.
