\/><\/noscript><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>Located in Beaumaris, 20 kilometres southeast of Melbourne, the bc dental practice has been recently transformed into a beacon of style and substance. Its visionary design, high-tech equipment and thoughtful functionality and ergonomics have been embraced by Dr Roberts and his team of seven practitioners. But the real coup is the inviting courtyard that can be viewed from most of the surgeries and his third-floor apartment.<\/p><div class=\"bitem-article-desktop-720x300-in-text\" id=\"bitem-2627272811\"><!-- Bite 720x300 [async] -->\r\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">if (!window.AdButler){(function(){var s = document.createElement(\"script\"); s.async = true; s.type = \"text\/javascript\";s.src = 'https:\/\/servedby.engagemedia.com.au\/app.js';var n = document.getElementsByTagName(\"script\")[0]; n.parentNode.insertBefore(s, n);}());}<\/script>\r\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\nvar AdButler = AdButler || {}; AdButler.ads = AdButler.ads || [];\r\nvar abkw = window.abkw || '';\r\nvar plc705185 = window.plc705185 || 0;\r\ndocument.write('<'+'div id=\"placement_705185_'+plc705185+'\"><\\\/'+'div>');\r\nAdButler.ads.push({handler: function(opt){ AdButler.register(165450, 705185, [720,300], 'placement_705185_'+opt.place, opt); }, opt: { place: plc705185++, keywords: abkw, domain: 'servedby.engagemedia.com.au', click:'CLICK_MACRO_PLACEHOLDER' }});\r\n<\/script><\/div>\n<p>\u201cIt looks fantastic,\u201d says the dentist. \u201cThe first place where I\u00a0worked had neon lights and no windows in the room. I felt like I was in a jail cell all day. To be able to look out onto the garden\u2014with a lawn, lavender and chilli plants\u2014is really cool.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This outdoor zone also explains why he\u2019s decided to stay put in the three-bedroom apartment, despite a few \u2018unexpected\u2019 events during the construction time. In the early stages, Dr Roberts envisaged moving into his hip bachelor pad above the practice, but by the time the build was completed, he was married with a\u00a0one-year-old daughter. His wife and daughter, fortunately, have no desire to leave the apartment. \u201cSometimes my daughter will come out and play on the grass while I\u2019m working. It\u2019s such a nice environment. I can also visit my family at lunchtime, even if I only have a half hour off.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Family is certainly a priority in Dr Roberts\u2019 life\u2014his dedication to the profession comes directly from his father. Dr Carlo Robert graduated in dentistry from Wits University in Johannesburg, South Africa, back in 1975, then moved to London, and finally settled in Australia in 1981, working in the original two-surgery practice in Beaumaris. \u201cJust after I bought Dad\u2019s practice, the property next door became available,\u201d explains Dr Roberts who\u00a0had previously worked on Queensland\u2019s Sunshine Coast for\u00a0a few years. \u201cSo we bought that and decided to redevelop the\u00a0whole property.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>&#8220;We looked at what they do as a craft and that led us towards a very polished veneer of white glazed marble flush to the glass.&#8221;<\/strong> &#8211; Craig Barkla, design architect of Demaine Partnership<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Now a three-storey 670-square-metre structure, the four-surgery practice is located on the ground floor, and a commercial dental lab, The Smile Laboratory, is about to open on the first floor early next year.<\/p>\n<p>When Drs Val and Carlo Roberts commissioned design architect Craig Barkla of Demaine Partnership to reconstruct the two shopfronts, they had compiled a concise brief. \u201cWe wanted it to be clean, edgy and contemporary,\u201d says Val. \u201cIt needed to reflect our practice philosophy and how we treat our\u00a0patients. It needed to be timeless; not a building that would\u00a0be dated in five years\u2019 time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When it came to the aesthetics, however, Barkla was given free rein on the design and materials of the practice. \u201cWe looked at what they do as a craft and that led us towards a very polished veneer of white glazed marble flush to the glass. The marble has a degree of translucency, and the glass at certain times of the day looks opaque so from an oblique view, it\u00a0looks almost solid,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p>Val appreciates the value of the marble-clad exterior. \u201cIt has come up beautifully and it\u2019s not high maintenance. When you take pride in your work, your building needs to reflect that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When designing the interior, Barkla was keen not to make the building look too clinical. \u201cWe used timber internally to soften things,\u201d he says. \u201cIt was about finding a balance between the very contemporary look and providing a space that wasn\u2019t imposing, so the scale of the space internally is quite domestic.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Barkla worked with dental design consultancies to ensure the layout of the practice was functional, while Dr Roberts also commissioned Sam Russell from Create Dental in the later stages of the fit-out to ensure the final touches were perfect.<\/p>\n<p>During the construction and fit-out period, Barkla also worked closely with the father-and-son dentists, as well as their new full-time dentist Dr Terry Honeysett who\u2019s worked with Carlo since their student days in Johannesburg. As Val recalls, designing a functional surgery fit-out wasn\u2019t as easy as he expected. \u201cI wanted large spacious rooms but you don\u2019t want the room to be too big. We did many, many outlays of how to set up the practice and now we\u2019re really happy with what we\u2019ve got.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Barkla concurs: \u201cWe managed to pack quite a lot of program into a fairly compact space. It\u2019s amazing the degree of detail in positioning the equipment and the joinery. We also made sure the ceiling heights were generous so when you are in the chair, you don\u2019t feel like the ceiling is weighing down upon you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Barkla also included a clever future-proofing option for when the dental chairs need to be replaced. The concrete directly under the chair is a different mix that can be easily removed to adjust the pipework required for a different type of chair.<\/p>\n<p>One specific request came from Carlo, who\u2019s been specialising in treating nervous patients for the past 30 years. He made sure the TV screens installed on the ceilings have subtitles and wireless headphones so the noise doesn\u2019t distract the dentist and dental nurse. \u201cWe went to a lot of trouble to locate the TVs so they wouldn\u2019t be obstructed by the light,\u201d explains Barkla, who was so impressed with the practice, he\u2019s now a patient of bc dental. As an extra bonus, patients can also select suitable music through Spotify, an online subscription music service.<\/p>\n<p>The building was finally completed in late 2011 and although the project exceeded the initial budget, Val was delighted to both live and work in his new property. \u201cSince it was a complicated build, it took more time and money than we ever expected,\u201d he says. But overall, he\u2019s still excited about living and working in this highly lauded practice. Apart from being short-listed in the Australian Institute of Architects Awards\u2019 Commercial Buildings division, it\u2019s been published in architectural magazines in Australia, Korea, China, Poland and the US.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a beautiful building and it\u2019s going to be here for a long time,\u201d says Dr Val Roberts. \u201cIt is representative of the work we do\u00a0here and the direction and commitment that we are giving to\u00a0our dentistry.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A marble-clad exterior is just one of the awe-inspiring elements in this newly designed practice in the Melbourne suburb of Beaumaris.
