Montalba Architects' primary challenge was to create a spacious interior, while accommodating Studio Dental's required program for its Mobile Unit, which travels to businesses of ering convenient dentistry. The 26-foot-long trailer with 230 interior square feet features a waiting area, sterilization room and two operatories. The sterilization room is hidden behind millwork panels that wrap around to form the patient waiting bench. A centralized, double-sided millwork panel houses equipment for both operatories and gestures up to 11-foot-plus ceilings with translucent sculpted skylights. The materials reinforce Studio Dental's identity with natural wood millwork, bright- white surfaces and a custom perforation pattern. Studio Dental Mobile Unit
