The design concept of large, over-scale circles and bold uses of color repeated in the floor, ceiling and walls creates interest, amusement, and diversion for young patients during brief stays at the hospital. The circle shapes in the floor mirror the soffits in various areas and provide a clean reflection to the fiber-optic star lighting. The flooring proves to be an integral aspect of the design with overlapping and intersecting circles creating beauty, movement, and a positive distraction throughout the corridors of the suite. This project won top honors in the Healthcare category as well as Best Overall Project at the Starnet 2010 Design Awards.

Not only was it important to provide a warm feeling for members of the general public, but also to instill that same feeling throughout the organization. Using vinyl wood plank flooring, the designer brought in warmth and banished the institutional feeling while providing way-finding for employees and guests. Strategic breaks in colors, patterns and wood vinyl allowed the designer to segment long expansive hallways, while adding dimension and interest to the space.

One of the challenges was finding a patterned carpet tile that would blend harmoniously with the existing wall finishes, which consisted of about seven different schemes, furniture, upholstery fabrics, and remaining existing burgundy carpet. The client had also dismissed their space planner. Another challenge that came up was with coordinating the work schedule with the doctors, furniture movers, telephone, electrical, IT and medical equipment technicians.

Only two rooms could be put out of commission at any one time and pathways to and from delivery rooms and operating room transfer had to be maintained at all times. Using plank flooring material made it easier for the contractor to stage corridor flooring replacement while maintaining the 24 hour work flow of these units. The contractor working closely with the staff successfully coordinated room shut downs and alternate corridor movements to maintain their operational modes.
