  • Project Title

    Skyline Internal Medicine Primary Care

    Openness and transparency were utilized to evoke of sense of trust between patients and providers. When patients are at ease and trusting they are more likely to communicate their health needs with professionals. To accomplish this the interior concept reduces the amount of partitions needed within the waiting area and places emphasis on corridor circulation. In doing so, patients and staff experience a sense of openness in an otherwise small footprint. Additionally, many of the partitions used within the space are glazed glass demountable walls. These partitions allow for patients to partially see into the provider workspace, demystifying the vagueness of provider workflow.

    AURA Primary Care Clinic

    The concept Aura is oriented to create a delicate yet full-scale experience that allows clients to immerse themselves in a comfortable and relaxed environment. To encounter amenities with a near spa-like feel seen in hospitality, which are instrumental in creating a sense of “homefulness” and well-being. The design showcases high-end, soft-toned materials to correspond to the clinic's high-end yet hospitable atmosphere. The aim is to build a warm and affectionate medical environment to ease patients' discomfort while also utilizing technology to assist physicians to work efficiently.

    DÉJÀ Healthcare Clinic

    The DÉJÀ healthcare clinic’s design is simply about the patients, their beloved ones, and the caregiver’s wellbeing within the space. The aim is firstly an area where a feeling of home-fullness can be reached through the understanding of an individual, appealing to multiple generations without any gender limitation to make sure the visitors feel welcomed and comfortable. This satisfaction can result in having patients back in this clinic again or they might feel they have been there before (Déjà vu) which would also speed up the healing process. Secondly, providing an environment that creates a lasting impact by involving the user’s emotional sense in their experience by engaging them unconsciously into space. The HIPPA, WELL, ADA standards, etc. are considered to create a better overall design as well.
