ROYAL HOBART HOSPITAL
In collaboration with Variety Tasmania and Archie’s Fund. This project aims to resdeign three spaces within the Pediatric Intensive Care RHH Unit to better facilitate family members and guests.
100 KINDS TO FIND
Providing passive interaction in the waiting space, incorporating Archie’s love for animals and counting. Enticing young guest to find hidden fauna and flora within the space, providing education opportunities. What begun as mural productions, expanded into a practice of experiential graphic design. Hidden shadows of Tasmanian flora and fauna within the decals of the wall of the foyer. The development of 100 Kinds prompted engaging collaboration within the team. Graphically it allowed me to experiment and play with different mediums.
ENTRY FOYER
The entry foyer became the main priority of this project, due to passion from team and strong feedback from stakeholders. Due this being the first space en-counted when entering the ward developing a distinct visual identity became important. The seating that is rarely used was purposed to be transformed into a statement piece. Subtly shaped as an 100 initiating the motif of ‘100’ in the ward.
FAMILY ROOM
In an effort to improve spatial agency to families, flexible and adaptable furniture have been proposed to the space. Stakeholders responded positively to this proposition.
The magnet nook was proposed by me as an alternative to individualistic screen based activities for kids visiting. Implementing 100 Kinds to find in as many mediums as possible. Giant magnet pieces that can be arranged to create Tasmanian Fauna.
COUNSELLING ROOM: NOOK
To reiterate the objective of the project, dedicating spaces for young families visiting the ward, a nook was proposed. Providing the opportunity to include young siblings in the room creating a stress free environment.
COUNSELLING ROOM: WINDOW
The sole window in the ward is visually is visually reminiscent of a doorway. It is a strong presence and is in line of sight from anywhere in the ward. To use the limited space and budget to our advantage. The team proposed to implement this window seating into the space.
