Crafting a pragmatic living space to nurture healing and well-being
The project entails the interior design of a medical clinic located in Arkansas, with a focus on prioritizing patient comfort, staff efficiency, and compliance with regulatory standards. The primary goal is to create an inviting atmosphere conducive to patient relaxation, while also optimizing workflow for the staff.

With a strong commitment to supporting and serving the neighboring communities, particularly those near Winthrop, her vision is to craft a welcoming environment that seamlessly integrates comfort with contemporary aesthetics. The design concept places emphasis on the utilization of translucent materials, which effectively blend natural and artificial light to create a harmonious ambiance.
Dr. Janice Rockefeller, a seasoned medical professional with deep ties to Missouri, is embarking on the establishment of a small family medical practice in Little River County, Arkansas.
The chosen material palette for this endeavor features muted Pantone tones, selected for their soothing and visually pleasing qualities.
The aim of the design was to create a pleasant and an inviting space by building a connection right at the portal. The entire built space is lucid, limited, protected and interconnected.
Lucidity is amplified in the entire composition with a hint of contrast through colors, lines and textures by making it more engaging.
