Palomar Hospital - Escondido, California

Palomar Hospital, otherwise known as "The Hospital on the Hill" is one of the country's largest, and most technologically advanced hospitals in the world. It was designed to be very open with garden spaces and healing views. We set out to design a chapel that would continue that inspiration and embrace nature, so our design concept is a clearing in a forest. Given that the hospital is so modern, we wanted the chapel to provide a familiar respite and take advantage of the peaceful scenery to the north.

Most hospital chapels are small and can only be used by one or two people at a time. We realized the sheer number of beds and the diverse religious beliefs of the community required a chapel that could serve several people at the same time. Our layout is organized such that the chapel has number of sub-spaces which can be utilized concurrently by several different users including a gallery area, kneeling space and private consultation room.

Adjoining the chapel, is a resource center which includes a large seminar room, small conference room and ample storage. These spaces can be utilized by a number of different user groups. Anticipated use includes staff and patient education, meetings and chaplain services.

UCSD Medial Center Hillcrest, Level 1 Trauma Center - San Diego, CA

Our scope was to create a four bay interventional trauma suite within the existing footprint of a 2-bay trauma center. As a life-saving space, every square inch was designed to be efficient and low maintenance. Extensive user group meetings helped us design a room that would be intuitively efficient, especially when every minute counts. In addition to the medical support in the room, every effort was made to provide and environment that would be comforting and private for the patient.

"This [new unit] gives us the ability to respond very quickly... to provide the best care we can." - Dr. Coimbra, MD, Chief of Trauma

Kashi Corporate Collaboration Room - La Jolla, California

Our scope was to convert existing storage space and underutilized open office into a collaborative space that embraces "free work" practices. The design creates areas that can easily be reconfigured as needed to provide the right size groupings. Walls provide writing surfaces, work surfaces can be moved around and large doors/walls enable multiple uses for the space.
