Project Description

The design of this medical suite required careful coordination of patient types—each with a unique set of needs, medical requirements, anxieties, and expectations. The floor plan was designed to comfortably isolate pre- and post-surgical patient groups while providing surgeons and support staff access to all patients. Separate patient entrances were provided along with a separate staff entrance to support this design criterion.

 

Sculptural partitions foster openness and a connection between patients and working clinicians.  By strategically glazing the interior with floor to ceiling glass, patients were further provided natural light and exterior views from all corridors. A break room was located contiguous to the outdoor terrace, allowing staff additional opportunity to relax and recharge.

 

A crisp, hospitality-influenced aesthetic was created by breaking away from the traditionally furnished waiting room to a contemporary ensemble of built-in seating elements and edge-lit partitions. Ceiling lights were carefully positioned to reflect in the polished oversized floor tile, creating a feeling of space and height
