Bunek Dental Studio
IN UNDER SIX MONTHS, Dr. Sabiha Bunek devised the aesthetic parameters for her 2,500-square-foot space and had it thoroughly renovated for $550,000. Major bonus: It’s across the street from the Big House, as the University of Michigan’s football stadium is affectionately known. (Dr. Bunek, a UM grad, is a passionate Wolverines fan.)
IT ALL STARTS RIGHT INSIDE THE FRONT DOOR, where visitors are greeted by a “comforting color scheme” of grays augmented by pops of maize and blue—which any enthusiastic Michigan partisan will identify immediately as the school colors. The operatories are flooded with natural light, which Dr. Bunek augmented with careful selection of LEDs for different areas of the space. Sonically, meanwhile, she went counterintuitive. “While most dental offices are designed to be closed in, with very private treatment rooms, I went the opposite direction,” she says.
