Project Brief
Cockatoo Dental involved the design and construction of a new purpose-built dental practice located within the Dandenong Ranges township of Cockatoo. The project brief required the delivery of a fully operational, contemporary dental facility within an accelerated programme, while creating a welcoming and patient-focused environment that reflected the natural character of the surrounding area.
