How can design help people heal? Contact us to learn more
We believe that sensitively planned spaces can serve to relax, reduce stress, dispel fears, and comfort people. From developing museum exhibits that encourage healthy living to designing common areas and patient rooms in hospitals, we recognize the potential of experience and environment to promote physical and emotional health.
Our designs for healthcare and wellness facilities provide patients and visitors alike with environments that promote relaxation, comfort, and ultimately healing. The now well-established field of “evidence design” has involved extensive research and testing, yielding quantitative proof of the efficacy of design to help heal. Our goals have been to reduce children’s and families’ anxiety, to distract them from their stress by immersing them in thematic, story-based environments, and to generally sooth and relax.
