The Healthcare Design Magazine – Christine Guzzo Vickery
In my last post, I discussed the results of a survey asking participants to identify design features that are important to them in healthcare facilities. Surprisingly, lighting received the most responses, with natural light gaining particular attention.
As an interior designer, I feel that lighting is perhaps the most important element in a space. Lighting has a major impact on the comfort of a space. Additionally, lighting directs patients through a clinic and helps healthcare providers deliver quality care.
We need to consider various factors when designing clinic lighting, from budget to program, demographics, geographic location, and clinic program.
Public spaces and waiting areas are opportunities to create a design statement. Multilayered, multisource lighting sets a welcoming tone. Warm general lighting to accent lighting and decorative lighting establish a relaxing mood and sense of well-being.
