The patients of this clinic make many repeat visits so the staff requested a visually rich environment that could be discovered and enjoyed over an extended period. It was agreed to invite creatures and plants of the neighboring countryside onto the walls of the facility.
A wetlands mural teaming with ducks, fish, and amphibians installed around the reception desk greets visitors. The adjacent waiting rooms have multi-panel paintings of whimsical interpretations of the local environment.
Corridors were transformed into a nature trail experience, suggesting open-ended narratives between curious ducks and geese, foxes and chipmunks, badgers and frogs… and many more.
These scenes combined painted animal cut-outs set in a stenciled environment of plants and flowers.
Depictions of children at play in the simplicity of nature personalized the many exam rooms.
