DIP Foundation collaborated with Unspoken Smiles, a nonprofit organization focused on improving oral health for underserved children in Costa Rica, to transform an existing house into a space for care, education, and hope.
The project includes the foundation’s first preventive oral health clinic, where children receive free, high-quality dental care, along with an interactive museum designed to promote awareness and education around oral health.
Spanning two floors, the architectural proposal integrates both programs into one cohesive environment. Through vibrant graphics, furnishings, and finishes, the design reflects the foundation’s mission while creating a space that feels welcoming, dynamic, and community-centered.
This project reflects the impact of collaboration and socially driven design, combining functionality and education to create meaningful change.
