CONCEPT
Drawing inspiration from the natural process of rock erosion, the concept for the cancer rehabilitation center embraces the idea of "Eroded Serenity." Like the gradual shaping of rock formations by the forces of nature, the design aims to create spaces that evoke a sense of calm and tranquility amidst the challenges of cancer treatment and recovery. Organic, sculptural elements reminiscent of eroded rock formations are integrated into the architecture and interior design, offering a metaphorical representation of resilience and strength. The use of earthy tones, textured surfaces, and gentle curves further enhances the feeling of serenity and grounding. Through this concept, the rehabilitation center becomes a space of quiet reflection and renewal, where patients can find comfort and inner peace on their journey towards healing.

This residence featured unique built-in furniture that defined much of its architectural character. We removed outdated freestanding pieces and elevated the overall design by incorporating neutral tones that complemented the home's raw materials, such as exposed concrete and brick. Each room was refreshed with new bedding, wall accessories, detailed accent furniture, updated lighting, and thoughtfully curated biophilic elements. These additions brought warmth, balance, and a refined touch to the space while honoring the home's original design intent.
