Healthcare & Therapeutic Environments

Purpose-designed spaces for healthcare and care settings to support comfort, emotional regulation, and therapeutic connection.

Purpose

Creating Trauma-Responsive Spaces for Care and Recovery. Our sensory environments for healthcare and care settings are purpose-designed to support comfort, emotional regulation, and therapeutic connection for patients, residents, and service users of all ages.

Understanding Healthcare

Purpose-designed spaces that address healthcare challenges: managing patient anxiety, supporting trauma-informed practice, meeting infection control standards, and creating therapeutic environments. Combines evidence-informed sensory support with clinical compliance for genuine therapeutic benefit.

Our Design Approach

Medical-grade, anti-microbial materials exceeding infection control standards. Wipe-clean surfaces, antimicrobial coatings. All fixtures meet safety requirements with anti-ligature options where needed. Calming sound and light elements support de-escalation. Layouts accommodate different settings: ICU, psychiatric units, dementia care, pediatric zones. Close collaboration with infection control, clinical staff, and regulatory bodies.

Outcomes & Impact

Patient anxiety decreases measurably. Fewer behavioral crises and restraint incidents. Improved recovery times and therapy engagement. Impeccable infection control compliance. Improved staff wellbeing and reduced workplace stress. Recognition as evidence of trauma-informed, person-centred care.
