Van Haren Dentistry

2144 E Paris Ave SE #110
Grand Rapids, MI 49546

Van Haren Dentistry needed a new home, outgrowing their office after 10 years of dental practice.

Their new office has improved patient spaces, including waiting, consult, and hygiene/operatory. It also has more efficient space for staff, including reception, lab, sterilization, and break room. Key features in this design include the pop of the color orange, use of a panelized wood tile, lobby and corridor ceiling details with edge lighting, as well as a friendly hospitality area with full height tile walls.

Not only did r.o.i. Design provide complete interior design services, we designed their new logo and designed the signage for the outside of the building. We also supported their process of procuring furniture.

During his first years of practice, Dr. Van Haren continued his education and certification to support the growth and expansion of services. For more about Van Haren Dentistry go to vanharendentistry.com

Swan Orthodontics
Caledonia, Michigan

Swan Orthodontics vision for their new space was to create a happy, bright, and professional space that families enjoy coming to. Dr. Kathryn Swan is committed and energized by how their work shapes peoples lives, not just their teeth, and wanted the interior design to reflect that.
r.o.i. Design developed a “crisp” and reflective design that used pops of color and graphics. LED lights were strategically placed in bulkheads and engineered so staff could change the light colors as part of the celebration when patients completed their treatments.
Lobby and reception area is a fun space with lots to look at. A slushy machine was installed in the lobby area and the flavors are changed through the week.
The open clinic was divided by custom dividers that used simple acrylic with decorative film applied, to create patient privacy without full walls.
The brushing area sported fun graphics and blue glass pebble wall tile along with colorful benches and ottomans.
First Companies executed the space with great care and attention to details. Dixon Architecture was the architect of record and worked along side r.o.i. Design to fulfill the vision.

Shannon Orthodontics 
Grandville and Plainwell, MI

Grandville: Shannon Orthodontics prides itself on its use of the latest research and technology and delivers an extremely friendly service. They want their customers to “achieve the smile they have always dreamed of”.
Tom Shannon and wife Kate researched other offices in the area and found our work at JCL Periodontics. Tom and Kate liked the character and personality we brought to that space and after initial meetings decided to engage us in the redesign of their Grandville office where we helped they with layout, interior finishes, lighting, signage, wall décor and furnishings.

Plainwell: Shannon understands the importance of brand and marketing.
They want all their offices to provide a uniform feel, so they could use their interiors in their advertising. They used their new spaces to create a video to promote their business.
Some of the interior elements that help carry the brand include the color scheme, the use of logo and signage, iconic furniture and wall art pieces.
We recognize that Shannon Ortho customers have many choices when it comes to orthodontics, and we want our customer to look as great as they make their patients feel!

Northern Michigan Pediatric Dentistry
Traverse City, MI

Northern Michigan Pediatric Dentistry (NMPD) is an adventure for the patients, for the dentists and for r.o.i. Design. This extremely busy practice specializes in the surgical and preventative care of the youngest of children.

r.o.i. Design recommended that the offices be divided into three themed areas organized around water, land and sky.

Design solutions included:

Water:
Small boat hulls were hung in the 14-foot ceiling area to help with acoustic reverberation and to give the waiting patients below that they were “under the water”. The carpet in the lobby undulated in pattern like waves, and the furnishings were abstract shapes that were meant to resemble bottom of the ocean creatures.
Between water and land there was a boat house play house with a steerable boat and a dock side port office.

Land:
Stepping through the door to the operatory the visitor experienced custom floor patterns that resembled stepping stones leading them to the examination chairs. A back lit acrylic panel filled with natural grasses lead the patients past a space that has a color changing cloud.

Sky:
Starting with a dark corridor with inserted LED spots and track lights, the visitors step from deep space into a tall bright area filled with stars, clouds and sunshine.
Featured in the Summer 2015 issue of Incisal Edge, this pediatric office was recognized for its creativity.

JCL Periodontics
Grand Rapids, MI

When does a visit to the periodontist not feel like a visit to the periodontist? That’s what our client Dr. Jake Lueder asked us. “I want our patients to know we care about them and want them to be as comfortable as possible. For me that means that they get a sense of who we are by the character of our offices. And that helps them relax, trusting we are here to help.” Lueder described to r.o.i. Design.

Dr. Jake Lueder appreciates the textures and elements of nature. He is a woodworking hobbyist, a wilderness lover, a generous host and employer, as well as a methodical practitioner. His customers have a wide variety of backgrounds, but he wanted to make sure that a retired plumbing executive would be just at ease as a mom with two small children in his space.
Some of our favorite design elements that spoke to his criteria were to include reclaimed wood, stone tile, interesting ceiling details, wall art depicting Michigan nature, soothing colors and comfortable seating in the space.
