Healthcare
We design for care and healing.
Our design for healthcare environments seeks to nurture the connection between patients and care providers. Research and evidence-based design data support the premise that the experience of a space can positively impact patient satisfaction and health outcomes.
We engage this process by incorporating patient and family needs, staff process and workflow and healthcare performance into our designs. We lead the team of project stakeholders by facilitating collaboration and trust, working towards the best solution for each project in order to create enduring facilities for human care.
