Beach Braces – Orthodontic Dental Office

Beach Orthodontics, the 2,650-square-foot practice of Dr. Patti Panucci in Manhattan Beach, CA, was designed to evoke the tranquil, sun-soaked feeling of a perfect beach day. Green Curve Studio created a modern coastal interior that balances clinical precision with emotional calm. The space includes two new patient exam rooms, a five-chair open ortho bay, and one semi-private treatment chair—efficiently laid out to support smooth patient flow while maintaining a relaxed atmosphere. The standout design feature is a series of backlit virtual skylights placed above the ortho bay, designed to mimic the experience of lying on the beach and looking up through palm trees—bringing natural light and serenity into an otherwise enclosed clinical space.

With clean architectural lines, natural textures, and sun-washed tones, the interior mirrors the easy, breezy lifestyle of Manhattan Beach while offering state-of-the-art orthodontic care. Dr. Panucci’s goal was to create a space where patients—especially teens and young adults—could feel calm, confident, and even inspired during their visits. The result is a high-impact orthodontic office that seamlessly blends beauty, function, and the essence of Southern California coastal living.
