Ohio’s Hospice of Dayton | Dayton, Ohio

This 88,000 SF facility is nestled among 17 tree-studded acres and numerous water features. The renovation project incorporates this stunning natural scenery into the building’s interior. Designs that bring nature into healthcare and long-term care facilities have shown to have a therapeutic effect on residents and families. Natural warm colors and textures were included in building materials, interior decorations, and furnishings. Tree bark wall-coverings and river rocks line the paths of travel. Ceilings are painted a soft sky blue and spotted with illuminated resin “clouds.” Tree branches in niches and transition spaces complete the naturalistic theme.
