Imagine a place where every design decision is driven by an equal concern for people's well-being and operational effectiveness. This new replacement facility for The Hospital of Silicon Valley is user-friendly, technologically smart, seismically secure, and architecturally stunning.
With responsibility for leading design of the interior architecture, we understood from the outset that creating an inviting, supportive, and efficient hospital for ECH meant designing spaces that met patient and family needs for comfort and care, while also answering the needs of the clinical and nursing staff for a well-organized and pleasant workplace. Our design solutions are both compassionate and practical, and they radiate the hospital's brand: providing world-class healthcare in a caring and high-quality context.
