PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The Levine Children's Hospital aimed to transform the space into a place for healing. Collaborating closely with administrative and clinical leaders, our team curated a design focused on reducing anxiety and providing comforting distractions for patients and their families.

Design elements include curving walls, circular seats, and undulating floor patterns, all thoughtfully designed to foster a calming atmosphere. Custom-illustrated wallcoverings and themed illustrations integrated throughout the facility offer a welcoming environment and engaging distractions for patients and family members. Elevator lobbies and waiting areas also feature themed designs, while the physical therapy corridor aligns illustrations with custom flooring to measure and celebrate patients' progress. Each floor is themed—City, Mountain, and Sky—creating a cohesive and immersive experience. The themed illustrations also serve as a hide-and-seek game for patients, enhancing their engagement with the space.

Post-occupancy surveys have shown impressive results, with a reported 90% satisfaction rate among families and patients. This project exemplifies the transformative power of environmental design in enhancing the well-being of patients, families, and staff within healthcare settings.
