“I view architecture and design as essential conduits for creating atmospheres that significantly influence our well-being, especially in healthcare settings. My focus is on crafting spaces that offer both aesthetic and humane support to patients and their families during vulnerable times.

As a specialist in ‘responsive environments,’ I believe in the power of architects and designers to shape alternative realities. We excel in designing spaces that evoke emotions such as belonging, calm, and energy, and through collaboration with artists, we integrate art to provoke existential reflections and enrich sensory experiences. This synergy aims to enhance both treatment and care in hospitals by addressing specific needs and practices.

Since 2015, my involvement in advanced healthcare design has allowed me to observe the transformative impact of integrating art and nature into hospital environments. This approach not only rekindles a connection to the natural world but also introduces a layer of humanity and poetry, sparking feelings of calm, meaning, and spirituality among patients and staff.
