Dr. Jill and Andy Salyards, owners of Refine Dermatology, approached Studio Four Design with a clear vision of what they wanted in their practice: a warm and inviting medical office that would not only invoke confidence in the exceptional medical care but deliver a spa-like experience. The Studio Four Design team partnered with the Salyards to develop the space to create a clean, modern, and distinctive environment offering a clear sense of hospitality to patients. To make the most of the available square footage, the design team identified innovative storage options and developed a layout to offer efficient flow and function for the practice while maintaining the desired atmosphere.

When construction was met with post-pandemic supply chain challenges, high-quality alternative materials were identified and used in the high-end design, featuring warm wood accents, a deep navy, and gold finishes. With the incorporation of the owner’s final and personal touches, the result is an inspiring, relaxing medical office that achieves its owners’ goals and provides room for potential future growth.
