From the prominent playful exterior design through the friendly and welcoming interior planning and design, a child-focused environment is created just for kids and their unique needs. Color, materiality, detailing, spacial organization and lighting reinforce the concept of creating a transformational experience for children with special medical needs that appears more suited as a big toy than a medical facility. The design composition of functional colorful building blocks, including the integration of mechanical screens, creates a multi-colored facility with six different colors of glass and seven different colors of glazed brick, specifically selected for the small unit scale. The colored glass is a key design element that reinforces the forms at the Public and Emergency Entrances while animating the interior environment. The use of simple color for these basic functions creates a fun memorable image not found in healthcare design while establishing a powerful branded image.
