We had the pleasure of designing the newly opened Dignity Health Clinic in Scotts Valley, CA. Formerly a leased office space, this tenant improvement project transformed the site into a surprisingly chic medical clinic featuring state-of-the-art technology and modern design finishes.

The 5,000-square-foot space includes a contemporary lobby, nine exam rooms, an open-concept office area, and more. Each exam room is designed with two doors—one for patient access from the lobby and another for staff access from the office area—providing both privacy and convenience.

Our interior design team followed prescribed guidelines to align the color scheme and finishes with other Dignity Health clinics across the country. The result is a thoughtful blend of cool greys and warm browns, accented by vibrant orange highlights. The finishes are not only visually appealing but also highly functional and compliant with all medical clinic standards.

The Santa Cruz Community Health Clinic is the second of three projects to be completed on the same piece of property as part of a healthy living community. The goal of the community is to provide accessible and affordable housing and healthcare for low-income families. Also a part of this healthy living community are the Dientes Community Dental Clinic (directly across from SCCH Clinic) and a new 57-unit apartment complex still in progress.

SCCH’s completed health clinic is 20,000 square feet and focuses on creating a safe space for women and children’s health. Three distinct color palates separate each major section of the clinic by purple, blue, and yellow. A local artist was commissioned to fill the clinic with paintings that incorporate each of these color schemes.

The clinic will also be offering health classes to further the knowledge of the community. In addition, a portion of the clinic is currently leased by a law firm that provides access to much needed legal services for lower income families.

WRD Architects partnered once again with Dientes Community Dental to design and build a new dental clinic in Santa Cruz from the ground up. This 5,500-square-foot, single-story building features 11 exam rooms, several accessory spaces, and a spacious, naturally lit lobby. The walls are adorned with murals by local artist Tessa Hope Hasty, depicting the rich landscape of Santa Cruz. Complementing the murals, bold accent wall colors unify the individual spaces, creating a children’s dental office that is both fun and uplifting.

The Dientes Community Dental Care clinic is the first of three projects on the same property as part of a healthy living community. This community aims to provide accessible and affordable housing and healthcare for low-income families. Also included in the development are the Santa Cruz Community Health Clinic—located directly across from Dientes—and a new 57-unit apartment complex currently under construction.
