metamorphic pediatrics

For this pediatric clinic, the client’s hope was to cultivate a child-appropriate environment that would reduce the typical anxiety of visitors and patients. The name of the clinic is centered around the concept of “metamorphosis,” which can be defined as the process of transformation from an immature form to an adult form. Additionally, the concept aligns with the goals of the clinic to support children in their transformation from infancy to adulthood. The design of the space aims to support the growth of all children by providing the user with the room to be curious, independent, and confident. The interior elements intentionally encourage child independence, promote health and safety and aim to reduces stress. These factors contribute to the empowerment of children as they transition from child to adult.
