STUDIO PHILOSOPHY
The Interior Design Services Studio of Wright McGraw Beyer Architects creates interior healthcare and environments that enable patients, family members and hospital staff to fully enjoy and function in the spaces. Project insight and experience enables our design team to create solutions that are visually pleasing and address business issues such as maintainability, return on investment and positive patient outcomes based on the principles of Evidence Based Design.
The impact of the interior environment is enormous. Incorporating the correct materials, colors, textures, lighting and design features is essential. The result of a properly designed space is seen in patient satisfaction, lower slip-fall incidents, easily maneuvering from one space to another and the ability to focus on healing.
Studies show that patient healing rates are increased by simple solutions like views of nature, minimizing environmental stressors such as noise and having access to positive distractions such as artwork.
Our design team will work diligently to meet the needs of the individual client. It is our goal to incorporate your business strategies, culture and image directly into the interior environment. This is accomplished by listening and molding the facility's unique qualities into a custom design solution that creates a beautiful, safe and efficient space in which to work and heal.
