Modern Amenity

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.

St. Joseph Candler/Ambulatory Services Hub was looking to create a patient-centered space to meet the variety of demands of their facility. The medical center houses areas for ambulatory surgery, robotic technology for non-invasive surgeries, imaging, urgent care, an OBGYM clinic, primary care, a shell space, and a tenet space. These diverse needs required furniture and design that would both support many needs and provide respite for waiting patients and guests. With the help of Gresham Smith, they constructed an inspiring, calming space full of natural light.

When Smith Senior Living set out to expand their Orland Park campus, they wanted to redefine the skilled nursing environment by focusing on designing warm, hospitality-oriented spaces. With the support of an extensive team, they crafted inviting gathering spaces, a beautiful dining area, an outdoor courtyard, and complete therapy suite to accommodate residents and guests. The intentional design was also intended to trigger memories and encourage guests out of their rooms to the common areas, where they can find community, explore, and socialize.
