The eclectic and vibrant Swede Hollow Clinic empowers patients and caretakers alike by creating supportive connections through a common purpose. A soulful bond to oneself and ones environment is achieved by layering light and pathways reflec-tive of the neighborhood’s identity. A sensible, yet rich and complex space transforms and embraces the individual positively. Spaces of reflection, fascination, meditation, and connection will use variety, repetition, visual cues to carry one to wellness.

Goal 1Create wellness in oneself and ones community

Goal 2Create connections in oneself and ones community

Goal 3Create awareness in all forms of medi-cal treatment and how a combination of these create wellness in oneself and ones community.

The feature stair brings in light and reflects new-

ness and hope for the future

Collaborative work stations have a sense of privacy,

yet allow for views of all angles

The coffered ceiling details, the Breath Wall from DIRTT, lighting, art, and vibrant materials bring a sense of unity and sense of depth. We a have our own diffreent sides to our selves and this design successfully is relatable to clients and caregivers alike. Security is addressed through an additonal reception near libary and limited access to clinic area of the building.

Attention Restoration Theory Application

␣ Artwork (positive dis-traction)␣ Views to nature, Natural elements (i.e., wood) and softfabrics␣ Calming color pal-ette with pops of vi-brant, energetic coloror colors that reflect nature␣ Higher ceilings to promote freedom and spaciousness(need acoustical treat-ment), could bring in more daylighting

Itprovides an intense, vivid and direct light.
