The new $300 million hospital tower at Orlando Regional Medical Center was created as a home for 245 patients, according to an article on the News OK website.
Everything the designers did to make the large institutional space feel homey, they learned from home designers, the article said.
“Our biggest design challenge was to make the hospital feel hospitable,” said Karen Guindi, the interior designer at the helm of the project, who designed high-end hotels before she began designing hospitals.
“Our mantra was this is not an institution,” said Guindi. “It’s a healing environment, designed with home, hospitality and nature in mind.”
