Successful balance of practicality and aesthetics
Patient safety was paramount for this behavior health facility, along with providing a warm and inviting atmosphere for healing.
As is appropriate for healthcare settings, interior materials and furnishings were selected in consideration of safety, durability, and maintainability. We were mindful of supporting practicality without compromising appearance. Ample exterior windows offering fantastic views of the surrounding terrain and architecture provided the opportunity to extend the outdoors inside. A warm natural color palette on walls, floors and furniture created a non-provocative, comforting environment, at the same time honoring the aesthetic spirit of the Native American culture.
