Concept design ideas commissioned by CABE for their national publicity campaign to raise awareness about the importance and value of good design in hospitals.
Four areas were considered in detail:
Entrance Square: like a town square, the heart and hub of community interaction.
‘No Waiting Room’: using smart technology to remove the need for and stress of the waiting room.
Bedroom: normal, domestic, comfortable and secure- just like home.
Physic Garden: for staff and patients alike- an apple a day keeps the doctor away.
