Floorplan Options

Here are two options for the floor plan to date. I took the advice of my peers and professors and came up with a plan that I feel supports the concept and the goal treating patients in a different way. Tomorrow the codes officials come to visit our studio. I feel I have an open mind this week and am prepared for whatever critique comes the projects way. (Yes friends- this is an open invitation to give me your honest thoughts.) The project will be better for it and in the end the patients experience will be enhanced because of it.. I'm all ears!

In case you have not seen the concept board (a few posts ago) or understand where the project inspiration comes from here is a short statement about it. 

Healing is a blend of the powers of mind, body and medicine. Macro scale images encourage a sense of wonder at seeing the smallest miracles of nature and connect us spatially to the natural world. They can be a significant symbol for healing. They illustrate the beauty, power and importance of starting small and building toward the health of the whole being. This sequence of events is intended to move patients through the healthcare process smoothly ultimately leading to the goal of wellness. This is the inspiration for the concept of Wonderland.

Wonderland is an escape from reality. Our imagination is the only limit to all that can be achieved.  This concept can effectively help when a patient, family member or staff needs to change perspective to get a different result, evoke a new emotion, or create a better illusion of the day. This concept also helps to soften the orderly and structured environment that patients must accept when treating an illness.
