We Make Places for Healing The Challenges
Our Approach
The challenges of healthcare design look very different depending on where you stand. An organization must balance the big picture with the smallest details, the demands of today with the possibilities of tomorrow. Clinicians and caregivers must toggle between break room and operating room, handson and high-tech. Patients and families have needs that are immediate, intimate, and individual, in an environment that if not designed properly can seem uncaring and impersonal and at odds with a hospital’s mission.
Healthcare is central to our practice and we have honed our ability to span the high-level, long horizon of healthcare’s unfolding future and the on-the-ground, of-the-moment patient perspective. We collaborate with clinicians, administrators, researchers, and patients to create healthcare facilities that are flexible, cost-efficient, and market responsive. We embrace evidence-based design to create patient-oriented spaces within a technically and clinically complex environment. In a sector where advances happen daily, we draw on our everevolving knowledge of science and technology to create patient, family, and caregiver friendly spaces that foster health and healing. 1
