p r o j e c t : : columbia gorge family medicine


project: 
design consulting:: columbia gorge family medicine building


my approach
in this case, style is the best medicine.
creative design can change the way patients experience healthcare.
for myself: this means no more mint green walls, no more cold patient rooms and no more faux plants (at least the really fake looking ones)!
give it soul! your patients will feel it.
find inspiration: nature
determine the style:: modern organic. warm. clean and comfortable. unfussy. well-dressed and professional.

styling:: this is the part i love... the details. after color, there are major details that make a space come together and feel balanced. rhythm, patterns, repetition + contrast to create visual interest.  elements that convey this unified message are as follows: floor lighting, potted plants, magazines racks, art installations, seating + arrangement, small things like: coat hooks, paper towel dispensers and garbage cans can go a long way with creating a balanced space.
a lot of work + experienced gained.  a big thank you to the entire staff of Columbia Gorge Family Medicine!  -jessica
