Healthcare
We help providers reimagine how healthcare empowers patients and benefits communities. Through research, inclusive engagement practices, and integrated expertise, we design environments that harness technology to produce better health outcomes and experiences. Our approach is Radically Human.
“
As hospitals and healthcare systems evolve to fit a new community model and address a growing need for wider patient access, adaptive reuse of older buildings will be an important strategy to achieve their goals in a sustainable, timely, and cost-effective way.
