The Riverview Women’s
Pavilion was designed to provide new state-of-the-art
women’s services for a rapidly growing community.
Focus groups established a “one-stop shop”
concept where women receive comprehensive care including
maternity services, diagnostic and treatment services,
physician offices, boutiques, as well as prevention,
education, information, and referral services. Women
also said they wanted a facility that was attractive
and inviting: more like a spa or hotel, not a hospital.
Based on this input, the plan developed around a
central atrium to bring natural light into the heart
of the pavilion. Soft curves in the plan emphasize
comfort and privacy while mitigating the institutional
aspects. The desire for a sophisticated yet informal
and inviting facility became the theme of the interior
design as interpreted in the warm neutral colors
and bright accents of an English Garden |
