Transforming Healthcare Environments with
Empathy and Innovation
We’re more than designers and builders—we’re patients, family members and caregivers, too. As a healthcare design firm, we understand the emotions that come with every hospital visit, every diagnosis and every moment of hope or uncertainty. That’s why we take a human-first approach to healthcare experience design, crafting environments that bring comfort, reduce stress and support healing. From immersive positive distractions to thoughtfully designed multisensory patient environments, we create spaces that do more than function—they uplift, inspire and make every moment in care a little easier.
We also provide fabrication, installation and optimization services. Our vertically integrated team includes designers, engineers, technologists and builders. This inclusive healthcare design model provides an end-to-end turnkey solution and reduces project friction for custom hospital design solutions.
In addition to pediatric hospital design, we also design for general hospitals, outpatient clinics, behavioral health centers and other wellness-focused spaces. Our healing-centered design solutions are tailored for every stage of the care journey, from lobby waiting rooms and facility corridors to treatment rooms.
We look beyond aesthetics, measuring the success of our healthcare environment design through patient satisfaction, emotional impact and stakeholder feedback. We aim to enhance the hospital patient experience, reduce perceived wait times and anxiety and indirectly improve HCAHPS scores.
