The Approach
Design affects our mental and physical well-being. When conceptualizing our comprehensive “healing habitat,” we wanted to foreground nature, to find more inviting materials, to accommodate family and friends, and to make space for amenities and community events.
The Expression
Our plan emphasizes the human-scale idea of healing from within. Hospitable touches, embedded and unobtrusive technology, thoughtful storage, personalizable touches, and natural light characterized our “beyond the bed” thinking.
The System
We delivered a manifesto, a set of five imperatives, and experiential and emotional benchmarks for a health-centric space. And in order to create a sense of friendliness and approachability, we presented our strategic thinking alongside colorful, organic, flowing illustrations from Tess Rubenstein.
