“Grounded in the concept of “radiance,” Radiance Pediatrics is a healthcare clinic that serves children from ages 0 to 18. The clinic promotes child development in its natural form by freely providing space for children to authentically grow and be the brightest version of themselves. Children, caretakers, and staff are encouraged to build confidence, explore, and feel pride in who they truly are. The design focuses on three key areas of research, including safety, anxiety reduction, and engagement of all ages. Safe design protects users from infection, disease, and physical injuries. Anxiety-reducing design leads to low-stress levels that are often associated with healthcare environments. Engaging design connects every individual to the interior space, regardless of demographic characteristics. These design features, along with others, empower children to be healthy, empower caretakers to guard and protect, and empower staff to provide positive care and support.”
