Ace Architecture

The Sarcee Dental Clinic is located in Nolan Hill, Calgary. High visibility from Sarcee Trail and a building mass that is unique within the context of the neighbouring multi-storey developments were priorities for the client.

The architecture aimed to improve the patient experience through its distinctive shape that curates outward views toward an enhanced landscape, and an interior light well that ensures natural light permeates throughout the entire interior space.
