Pirogov Children's Hospital
PIROGOV CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL
Sofia, Bulgaria
After completing the design of Muzeiko, Bulgaria’s first children’s museum, The America for Bulgaria Foundation tapped SKOLNICK to re-imagine Pirogov Children’s Hospital in Sofia and bring some of the colorful and playful elements of the children’s museum into this healing space. Working in partnership with IKEA to select homey, modern, child-friendly furniture, SKOLNICK completely renovated the hospital into a welcoming and comfortable environment for children and families.

“We’re announcing Little Heroes at Muzeiko, ABF’s science center for children, because we will bring the colorful visual language from Muzeiko to Pirogov. And Muzeiko’s architect and designer, Lee Skolnick, is working with our Bulgarian team to execute a child-friendly, colorful and healing vision for Pirogov Children’s Hospital.
