Welcome to a world where we met a visionary doctor with a dream: a non-contemporary
dental clinic where science and technology blend seamlessly into a marvel.
The state-of-the-art process of making this clinic involved intricately crafted
interiors that reflect the doctor's values, beliefs, passion for superheroes,
and professional motivation.
Every corner of this clinic echoes these principles. From the start, it was clear
this project would transcend the ordinary. We embedded the client’s inspirations and
ambitions into every wall. His vision was not just out of the box—it was out of this world.
The project began with a simple phone call from the client, a dentist, that profoundly influenced our designers and brought his vision to life. This conversation presented a unique challenge and a rare opportunity to realise the doctor's dreams.
To bring the doctor's vision to life, we embraced a design that seamlessly blends modern functionality with cultural richness. Integrate state-of-the-art technology for efficiency while reflecting Pune and Rajasthan’s heritage to honour the client's cultural roots. Design a space that celebrates the doctor’s family history and love, fostering comfort and togetherness.
Family Concerns: The doctor's father was worried that the dark theme and superhero elements strayed too far from traditional clinic design, fearing it could harm his son's professional reputation.
Societal Perception: The design was criticised for resembling a pub or gym rather than a professional medical environment, raising doubts about its practicality and professionalism.
Design Dissonance: Balancing diverse and somewhat disjointed requirements—such as achieving a futuristic design while preserving heritage elements—made it challenging to create a cohesive and harmonious space.
Due to these issues, family and society's beliefs, we were on the verge of losing the project!
We persevered, infused our magic into the process, and, as they say, the rest is history.
The design blends futuristic technology inspired by JARVIS with vintage elements from Pune wadas and Rajasthan’s intricate carvings. Expansive windows invite nature in, creating a calm, refreshing atmosphere. Superhero motifs add a motivational flair, while personalised touches reflect the client’s strong family bonds. Influences from Aadit and Ranveer (the architect’s children) give the design a personal depth. A traditional water kund in the mandir area seamlessly merges heritage with modernity. Dark, bold themes define common areas, while clean white lines highlight examination rooms. Global travel experiences enrich the space with diverse, sophisticated influences.

for the world to see.
"Listening to the doctor's overall dreams and thoughts was an extraordinary experience," says lead architect Sachin Khatpe. The client's ingenuity drew inspiration from elements like Kryptonite, Tony Stark, Den (Darn), and the Green Lantern Corps.
"Not everyone can justify superheroes. The challenge was to make the patients sitting outside recognise and connect with these themes while relating them to dentistry. The design needed to creatively integrate superhero elements in a way that made sense within the context of a dental studio, ensuring patients could connect to the environment and feel inspired," adds the doctor.
Incorporate greenery and indoor plants to create a refreshing ambience.
Highlight the client’s love for travel with elements showcasing various destinations.
Dedicate areas for displaying photography and celebrating pets, capturing cherished moments.
Add personal touches with references to favourite TV series and integrate car-themed décor to reflect the client’s interests. Ensure adherence to Vastu Shastra principles for harmony and positive energy. Infuse thoughtful design choices that echo the client’s philosophical beliefs. And of course, weave superhero themes throughout, making them both recognisable and inspiring for patients.
