Nature was a significant aspect in the design of the Willson Hospice House, in Albany, Ga., according to an article on the Albany Herald website. Designers made an effort to minimize the human footprint and promote biodiversity.
Developed on 12 of nearly 210 acres, the facility gives access to the outdoors as a way to promote a calm and peaceful setting for patients and family members. It has a wood-framed building design inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright and features an abundance of windows that provide open views to the outside, the article said.
The hospice has patient suites that open onto a patio that looks out onto natural grounds, The 39,000-square-foot facility includes 18 patient rooms in three pods.
Willson is green-certified with open, natural lighting. Features include a private chapel, sun rooms, a family kitchen, a kids’ playroom and outdoor walking trails.
