St. Jude Children's Research Hospital
We are challenged in pediatrics to create interiors suitable for children of many ages. Child development experts state the sea is an evocative image that remains throughout the stages of childhood. The entrance, waiting areas, diagnostic and treatment spaces, use water imagery to establish a soothing environment. Shades of blue; curved, bubbly glass features reminiscent of a waterfall; aquariums; and an enclosed stairwell that evokes a wishing well all contribute to this theme.
