Zeal Odontologia

Thiago Melo, Norma Melo, Andréa Melo

The goal for the Zeal project was to communicate our values in the environment. The word zeal in Portuguese is zelo which according to the Online Portuguese Dictionary means: “Great care and concern that is dedicated to someone or something.” The environment should translate welcome, empathy, security and care. A living room with wood tones was preferred to bring the feeling of welcome. The space was attached to the kitchen, with cozy furniture, translating the feeling of being in a house. The goal was to avoid the standard entrance of clinics, with couches or waiting chairs in front of a receptionist’s counter. For this, we opted for the entrance lounge without a counter and without the administrative office used for appointments and bureaucratic matters with patients (Fig 1).
