The Baptist Memorial Hospital in Crittenden had served a small rural community in West Memphis for years, but needed more space and resources to accommodate a growing number of patients. Despite these needs, they had an extremely limited budget to achieve all of the enhancements that they required. With the help of ESarch and Carolina, they created a new campus that included additional beds, a cancer center, a more efficient ED overflow system, an indoor-outdoor cafe, and a small chapel—all within budget. Today, the hospital can better serve both the medical staff and patients through their new, inviting and space-efficient space.

The UC Irvine Medical Center was looking to upgrade the Chao Comprehensive Digestive Disease Center by expanding clinical and support spaces as well as updating the style to feel more light, airy, and welcoming. With the help of Tangram and Tangram’s in-house designer, the team chose Carolina furniture to create cohesive waiting spaces for the newly renovated Center.

Despite the first floor waiting area’s long and thin dimensions, designers used flooring details both inside and out to create the illusion of no-boundaries, complete with floor-to-ceiling windows and the thin frame of Rule of Three seating. Today, the furniture and space maintain a fresh, uplifting place to help patients find more comfort and beauty in healing spaces.

Moffitt McKinley Outpatient Center has helped accommodate the hospital’s growing needs. The facility offers numerous outpatient services, and patients experience a warm and inviting atmosphere. All five floors include large waiting areas that are multi-functional with soft seating, powered tables, game areas, etc. Themed fabric selections were used for way-finding on each floor and added to the overall inviting experience.

One of the pre-eminent challenges in designing the Inova Women’s Hospital and Inova Children’s Hospital was to create distinct yet complementary identities for each of these institutions sharing the same newly constructed building. OFS Brands offers an extensive, proven line of modern furniture appropriate for a wide range of healthcare spaces from patient rooms to waiting areas to cafés. OFS Brands furniture became part of the design concept, helping the team effectively create the desired soothing, spa-like feel of the women’s areas and highlight the bright, playful motif in the pediatric spaces.

The new ITG Brands headquarters represents a pivotal moment for their organization, an investment to align their physical space design with their goals for curating an office culture focused on collaboration and inclusivity. Their refreshed office space was designed to prioritize future agility, connection, sustainability, and wellness. In the physical space, this is represented by biophilic elements, environmentally conscious material choices, and flexible architectural furniture solutions to create a workplace that feels intentional and future-ready. 

Furniture configuration throughout the office empowers employees by blending flexible architecture, workstations, and modular lounge pieces that support a range of workstyles. Each space was thoughtfully designed to meet human needs, from curated areas for employees to recharge, to vibrant collaborative areas. More than just functional, the furniture plays a vital role in shaping a space where ITG Brands’ transformation can take root and grow.
