Project Brief
The main waiting area exudes clarity and professionalism, anchored by a centrally placed nurse station in neutral, light finishes. The spacious plan allows for intuitive navigation and easy supervision. Continuous lines of sight, abundant seating, and universally legible signage reinforce functionality and accessibility. The subdued palette with indirect lighting and artwork creates a reassuring, dignified first impression for patients and visitors.
The patient rooms are designed with soft green and blue feature walls and abstract artwork offer soothing visual interest, balanced by neutral finishes to reduce visual fatigue. Attention to patient comfort is seen in the homelike furniture, accessibility features, and clear lines-of-sight. Indirect lighting, ceiling fans, and an integrated headwall system underscore thoughtful functional planning and patient-centric design.
