Health & Wellness

Today’s healthcare design is focused on user experience throughout the entire process, shifting the environment closer to a warm hospitality setting rather than the institutional feel of a hospital.

Hospital campuses have increasingly become mixed-use hubs for patients, visitors, and staff alike, offering the experience of shopping, dining, and lodging. To address these evolving needs, our healthcare design studio supplements its research-based programming efforts with experience drawn from planning mixed-use destinations to create a truly holistic healthcare hub. We view each project through a comprehensive lens of multiple functional elements and their relationship to one another.

Beyond understanding and addressing the facility’s now-base technological needs for providing high levels of patient comfort and flexibility, it is crucial for architects and planners to bring real estate and pro-forma expertise. Our team understands the use and cost of real estate from a developer perspective, guiding clients from the start in mitigating the ever-increasing cost of healthcare to achieve optimal outcomes.

As healthcare becomes more polarized between specialized disease treatment and routine health maintenance, it is crucial to draw a distinction in healthcare design requirements. The globalized healthcare hub approach for a large, specialized hospital varies greatly from the neighborhood feel of a small local clinic. The ability to understand and address these specific needs distinguishes our healthcare studio at its core.
