Morag Myerscough sought to create an artful space for patients For children especially, hospital stays are not usually fun, which is why British designer Morag Myerscough sought to create artful spaces that let patients know that they are being cared for and thought of.
Working closely with Sheffield Children?s Hospital in England and Avanti Architects, who built the new spaces, Myerscough designed four bright and graphic schemes that feature in 46 patient rooms and six multi-occupancy suites. Created with children of all ages in mind, the designer behind the eponymous studio made sure that the rooms did not feel childish.
?I also wanted to create somewhere parents would be happy to spend time, too,? she told Designboom. ?It was just about making a bedroom that you felt good to be in.?
The result is colorful paneling and doors crafted from Formica laminate that compliment the hospital?s new domestic feel. Warm wood trim on the doors and window frames are accented with digitally printed patterns of triangles, diamonds, chevron, and stripes, while whole cabinet surfaces are covered in hues of orange, avocado green, pink, tangerine, sky blue, navy, and aqua.
Some rooms are given a more neutral color scheme, depending on the differing conditions of the patients. For an added sense of comfort, intimidating elements like plugs and wires were hidden behind Formica panels. Take a look below.
