Our interior design department contributes to the architectural process from the very beginning. The visions of our designers are shaped not only by technical requirements and space possibilities, but most importantly by practical patient comforts. From artfully disguising medical equipment to incorporating elements proven to calm and soothe, the intent of our interior designs is to effortlessly blend with architectural environs.
