The client approached the studio to create a seamless, world class patient experience. The studio designed the spaces to be healing, calm spaces that puts the patients at ease. A series of consultation, examination and waiting areas were designed. The intent was also to set a design standard for other hospitals of the Chain.
This large waiting space ties together various functions - it is the centre of the floor plate and holds the main nurse station to direct patients and is also the first point of interaction for patients entering the hospital. A mix of materials were used to highlight various features - care was taken to use materials that are infection proof. Curves were incorporated in the space in the form of furniture and architectural elements such as the ceiling and columns to soften the space.
