NOMINATED FOR A CITY OF HARTFORD ARCHITECTURAL AWARD

We moved our endodontic practice into a new, Victorian-style building in 2007. The project was planned and completed by Designs From Space and the result is superb. Bob Murphy’s knowledge of dental office design, budgeting, financing, dental equipment and cabinetry seems endless. Rick Lawrence’s architectural design is magnificent. Julia Riordan’s interior design suggestions were imaginative and dramatic. Her insight perfectly complemented our vision for the office. Our building was nominated for a City of Hartford architectural award and twice featured in the Hartford Courant as a model neighborhood project. We couldn’t be any happier with the outcome.

HANDLED EVERYTHING AND MADE THE PROCESS EFFORTLESS

We moved our endodontic practice into a new, Victorian-style building in 2007. The project I needed someone to create my new office without making me break a sweat. Bob Murphy handled everything from developing a budget to design drawings, to interviewing contractors to negotiating with the town, to designing cabinetry, to finding the best equipment values, to supervising the construction process. Moving out of the old office and into the new one was as close to effortless as I could have imagined.

I HAVE AN OFFICE THAT “WOWS” MY PATIENTS

For 7 years Bob Murphy and I searched for the perfect space to renovate into a dental office. From conception to reality, Bob and his team assisted me in getting my project approved and completed despite a demanding and fussy town bureaucracy. Bob was able to communicate my needs to people on the project where I would otherwise have been ineffective in getting the job done. He worked with me to customize my office and reflect my vision which was way outside the box. The end result is that I have an office that “wows” my patients. They are so comfortable with the soothing environment that some have actually fallen asleep in the waiting room. One patient recently told me she came to her appointment early just to relax.

I THOROUGHLY PLEASED WITH THE DENTAL OFFICE

I leased a building with 8,360 square feet to create a state-of-the-art dental office. I relied upon Bob Murphy to draw the plans and complete the project which included 14 treatment rooms and a full-production laboratory. My staff used to tell me that I’m impossible to please but I was thoroughly pleased with the way the dental office was designed and built.

WE SAVED OVER $70,000 ON DENTAL EQUIPMENT

We built a contemporary building and dental office in 1989. We hired Bob Murphy to design an interior space of 4,400 square feet including 11 operatories. His guidance was invaluable as was his direction regarding dental equipment, cabinetry and finishes. We saved over $70,000 on dental equipment compared to what our local dealer quoted and it has withstood nearly 20 years of use.

THE BUILDING AND INTERIOR ARE SPECTACULAR

My dental building was completed in 2005. I trusted Bob Murphy to handle the project from concept to completion. I used the Designs From Space team to provide architecture, office planning, interior design, construction supervision and cabinetry. The building and interior are spectacular and the dental office functions perfectly.

MY WORKING RELATIONSHIP WITH BOB HAS BEEN EXCELLENT

The first office Bob Murphy did for me had 3 operatories and it worked great. When I added 4 operatories, Bob handled the details and, in 2006, we expanded to 10 operatories using the Designs From Space team. The office is gorgeous and efficient and my working relationship with Bob has been excellent.

SELECTED AS THE BEST EXAMPLE OF NEW CONSTRUCTION IN NORWICH

Our orthodontic group hired Designs From Space to design and construct a new building with 9,000 square feet. It was the second project Bob Murphy did for us. We knew what we wanted but welcomed the vision that the team provided. The result is an A+ facility. During construction, the city planner reported that the building was selected as the best example of new construction in Norwich. Bob is a great resource for the nuts and bolts of creating a dental facility.

A REPEAT CUSTOMER WITH A SEAMLESS SECOND PROJECT

Bob Murphy had designed a 7-chair office for me 7 years earlier which works efficiently and looks terrific. When we wanted to expand our space and add 4 more chairs, there was no doubt about who we’d use. The transition from old to new was virtually seamless and the equipment prices were dramatically less than the prices quoted by our dental dealer. Bob did an excellent job.

HE WAS ABLE TO NEGOTIATE A 50% REDUCTION IN RENT

Many years ago I told Bob Murphy that I was going to build a new office some day. I don’t think he believed me until I asked him to start looking for a space. He not only found the space, but he negotiated the terms of the lease and got the rent reduced to half what the landlord was asking. After that I just got out of the way and let Bob do his thing. The result is beautiful, high-tech, productive and exactly what I expected from him

MY PATIENTS OFTEN COMMENT ABOUT THE BEAUTY OF THE OFFICE

Twenty years ago Bob Murphy designed my first dental office and supervised the construction. When I expanded, I used his services again and, in 2006, Designs From Space completed my current office. The facility functions remarkably well and my patients often comment about the beauty of the office.

HE ALLOWED ME TO CONCENTRATE ON PRACTICING DENTISTRY

I bought a building to renovate into a dental office. I had a dental supply company design the space and was disappointed with the plan. I contacted Bob Murphy and found that he knew how to design what I wanted. I’m thankful that Bob handled the project. He made it enjoyable and allowed me to concentrate on practicing dentistry.
