Healingby Design

You Know the Principle
Evidence-based design research† connects a relaxing environment
with a successful healing experience.
A clean, functional space softened with natural materials,
comforting colors and filtered light invites convalescence whileaccommodating the necessities of clinical care.
Creating an environment which evokes the comforts of home canlead to improved patient outcomes, while making the healthcare
workplace an attractive and welcoming location for all.

An Open andShut Case

You Know the Paradox
You’ve faced this conundrum: developing a space that’s simultaneously open and closed. Providing common areas that are uncommonly airy while preserving the privacy necessary in a healthcare
environment.
And it usually comes down to light.

The incomparable assortment of 3form® materials encourages you
to play with light with powerful effect — opening up healthcare
spaces while allowing patients the discretion they need. Keeping
it confidential without being constricting. Building areas of sanctuary that don’t feel like tombs.
