Creating the facade of Cincinnati's West Hospital involved an artistic vision, mock-ups, a dose of technology and a leap of faith, according to an article on the Healthcare Design website. Designers wanted to make the connection between the facade and Ohio’s history as a center of production of art pottery with a mosaic tile wall system, according to the article.
The space responds to a common challenge in care environments, where showering can be disorienting and stressful due to unfamiliar surroundings, noise and limited privacy.
