This first phase renovation of a leased space will create a new, top-of-the-line, outpatient cancer center outside of Washington, DC. Leveraging abundant natural light and other biophilic principles, the design provides a soothing, healing space for patients and staff alike.
The client was very interested in exploring the principles of biophilia and integrating them into the space. Pulling influence from their standard color palette, the scheme combines vibrant accents with soft, earthy tones to create an engaging but comfortable environment. This begins right at the entrance to the center, into the gallery or waiting area. Plentiful natural light streams in as patients are greeted by the fireplace.
The Gallery - entrance
A variety of seating options is available both for patients waiting on an appointment and for those waiting on loved ones who are receiving treatment. A custom planter bench provides additional seating while showcasing the centerpiece of the gallery, the silk trees. Soaring ceiling heights and full glass storefront make the gallery light and airy, while grounded by the earthy tones of the finish materials.

As important as the patient experience is, taking care of staff is just as important. The staff lounge aims to do this by being a relaxing space for staff to take a break, incorporating elements such as a tunable lighting system and flooring that is comfortable under foot.
