INOVA LOUDOUN HOSPITAL PEDIATRIC NURSING UNIT

Many recent studies on healthcare and the built environment indicate a direct and strong correlation between the quality of healthcare and aesthetics/design of the environment it is provided in. A significant challenge and goal for the pediatric unit was to design a space incorporating state-of-the-art healthcare technology in an environment friendly and comforting not only to children, but also the parents and family.

The floor plan is laid out to allow for maximum privacy and comfort of the patient and families without sacrificing necessary spaces and functionality for healthcare providers. The finishes, furniture and custom millwork provide for all the complicated needs and functionality of pediatric care in a warm, playful, and comforting environment reminiscent of home.
