Portfolio "interiors of medical premises, centers, hospitals". Unique and colorful interior of the children's hospital Design of the reception area in the children's medical center

List of the walls of the hospice at the Martha and Mary Convent. Responsible, not easy and subtle was the task of the artists, who were entrusted with decorating two large chambers in the children's hospice. I would certainly like to note the very high-quality and complete filling of these chambers: from furniture and special equipment to refrigerators, plasma panels, to pretty ceiling lamps, sconces and good plumbing. Decent colors and graphics of ceramic tiles in bathrooms. Calm and optimistic (as far as possible this term in a hospice room) coloring of curtains on windows, color of bedspreads and sofas, delicate coloring of the lower part of walls of both chambers - all this indicates that the choice was not accidental, for the professional work of the architect. In one of the chambers, the architect proposed his own version of the "watercolor", in some places extremely "foggy" wall painting depicting good animals: a fox with foxes, a pair of bunnies, a deer with a deer and a fawn. The complexity of the execution for the artists consisted in finding a compromise in the naturalism of their poses and positions in the painting space and in the architect's request to leave them some "cartoonishness" with an absolutely "watercolor" background of the painting. It should be noted that the cartoon is necessary in this real situation (the room was intended for the smallest patients), but it was necessary to maintain a balance of visual means. In addition, the artists had to paint the background in a rather peculiar way, not only preserving its lightness, but also giving it some materiality, which made it possible to create a single pictorial space, somewhat modifying some details of the sketch, but developing its main components as a decorative wall painting. In another chamber, the walls (0.8 m from the floor) and the ceiling were covered with paintings in the style of airbrushing. In such a size, airbrushing painting requires special care in elaboration, which, of course, requires a lot of time, which the artist who painted in this technique did not have at all, apparently. As a result, blurred borders, uniformity in the elaboration of volumes, indifference and uniformity in color and graphic solutions. All this created in the ward a dreary, strongly autumnal mood of a sad dream. In addition to the above, the very language of the painting and the complete absence of anything alive in the image created the impression of a world frozen forever. The client, realizing this, asked the artists to add new elements to the mural painting without rewriting it entirely. And then this dead space of branches and trunks was "populated" by a multitude of multi-colored flying, sitting, singing and whistling birds - a real Garden of Eden.

It is difficult to treat a child when he is afraid of the doctor and the hospital premises. The interior design of pediatric dentistry Matsumoto pediatric dental clinic in Tokyo, Matsumoto district is full of kind animals and you can wait in line in the playroom. This is done to make the little ones feel free.

The project was developed and implemented by experts from Te ra inter イ nn za video together with Terada Naoki and tie Kenichi, known for their extraordinary solutions.

A special corner has been created for young patients and their parents. There are toy boxes under the bench. Funny animals will entertain the child and calm him down.

On a glass screen, life-size outlines of trees and animals. The combination of light wood and light green color is soothing.

The offices are delimited by partitions and are part of a large room. They refused from small offices in the polyclinic. A confined space can scare a child.

The built-in wardrobe is almost invisible thanks to the plywood appliqué in the form of a trunk and branches, which distracts the eye.

There is a monitor on the wall in front of the chair. Its position is designed in such a way that it would be convenient for a little patient to watch cartoons that are constantly shown.

Additional lighting in the form of powerful lamps is mounted on a high adjustable tripod.

One of the walls has many holes, into which funny and nimble worms protrude. The wall décor is varied and fabulous.

The glass facade of the Matsumoto pediatric dental clinic is painted in white with silhouettes of animals and birds walking among the trees. Above is the name of the hospital. Opening hours at the door.

They try to receive the smallest in an office with a glass partition. Then the child can see the mother who is waiting for him and feels more confident.

Medical facilities are a source of stress for many adults, not to mention children who are intimidated by white walls and the noise of equipment. The leaders of one of the London clinics believe that specific sounds and smells negatively affect the mental health of children, and therefore invited 15 artists to decorate the interior of the hospital.

The offices and hallways, the sounds and smells of the hospital make this place terrifying for children. But the hospital shouldn't be fearful. The British art organization Vital Arts, responsible for introducing art to British hospitals, has brought together 15 artists to transform the interior of the Royal Children's Hospital in London into an amazing and colorful place.

Despite the fact that the hospital has to be cleaned up all the time, artists were still able to use vinyl, ceramics, wood, and even carpets to bring these hospital walls to life. Each artist has created his own unique style.

2. The artist's work includes animals and flowers on the walls. Only the doors and medical automatic doors remained intact. Large drawings have many details and each time you can find something new in them.
3. Traumatology and Gastroenterology from Morag Myerscough.
4. The artist tried to depict all the images that he kept in memory over the years and splashed them out in his work. Thus, elements of circus, art deco, Asian culture, Victorian architecture appeared on the walls and this is not a complete list. Initially, the artist transferred everything to paper in the form of sketches, and then to the walls.
5. The aim was to make the wards enjoyable for young patients and their parents, warm and welcoming.
6. Hematology from Donna Wilson.
7. Donna's goal was to make the hospital different from regular hospitals. She wanted patients, parents and nurses to feel calm and relaxed, and that the wall designs were uplifting.
8. The reaction from children and parents was amazing.
9. Waiting room from Chris Houghton.
10. Chris decided to draw animals, lions, fish, etc. in each room.
11. Vinyl was used in the corridors to create life-size images of animals.

13. Wood is a traditional warm material that has been and continues to be used to make toys. And very often the tree brings back pleasant memories of childhood. The combination of bright vinyl colors and wood characters is very popular with children.

The hospital has its own logic and structure subordinate to it - in order to “humanize” such a space, to make it comfortable for a child, many nuances must be taken into account. We will tell you how foreign designers and architects cope with this task using the example of three projects implemented in the UK.

British designer Morag Meyerskow is well known for her love of bright colors - whatever she does, it comes out lively and emotionally. The design project of the children's hospital in Sheffield was no exception, only here we had to work with flowers especially carefully: firstly, the space should not annoy children with autism, and secondly, it should be comfortable not only for kids, but also for older children age. The main task of the architect was to give the hospital wards a more homely look. Myerskow designed forty-six bedrooms, bathrooms and lounges for sharing. She did not cheat on herself: the space turned out to be multi-colored, but not bright - muted tones perform the same function as saturated ones, but at the same time they do not irritate the sensitive children's mind.

In addition, in a hospital environment, it is important that everything remains sterile and therefore easy to wash and clean. Mayerskow solves this problem with a plastic laminate. The wooden panels in the wards are also laminated and washed in the same way as the walls. Formica, a laminate company, helped the designer to implement the idea. Their panels also perform another important function - they hide medical equipment, wires and cables behind them. This allows you to make the space more comfortable, suitable for a long stay of a child.

MORAGUE MAYERSCOE interior designerAlthough the wards are intended for children, I didn't want them to look childish. Instead, I tried to make them cozy and something that would appeal to children of different ages and remain comfortable for visiting parents - I just wanted to make a room in which everyone will be happy. The hardest part was printing wood panels in pure, true colors on the laminate. Due to the nature of the production, it was not easy to do, and the process took us a year. In the end, everything worked out, and the wood heat was preserved.

The British architectural firm Keppie, working on a project for a children's hospital in Glasgow, set itself the same task - to make the space comfortable for long-term stay of children and their parents. The campus, commissioned by charity Ronald McDonald House, is designed to allow parents to live here with their children while they receive treatment. Bedrooms, lounges, kitchen and games room - everything, as conceived by the architects, should resemble a house. Keppie concentrated on building planning and construction. Two spacious courtyards on either side of the central building should remind children of a playground near the house, and the material chosen for construction - rough white brick - makes a hospital similar to a farmhouse. To achieve more resemblance to a private house, the architects used rectangular bay windows, multifaceted ledges with windows in the wall of the building.

The interior matches the facade: natural materials, muted tones and precise detailing all create the image of a comfortable communal home.

DAVID ROSS keppie Design Glasgow RepresentativeThe hospital has its own logic and function, our task was to preserve them, but get away from the unpleasant associations that usually cause buildings in the category of health care. The building has a simple and austere facade, but at the same time does not look like a hospital. We have connected the buildings with each other using spacious corridors with windows overlooking the courtyard. The courtyard also protects against the noise of the rumbling Govan Road buses and screaming ambulances. It is a great honor for us to work on a project for children who are going through such a difficult period in their lives. In this case, the design follows purely humanistic principles - it tries to make the hospital space as human as possible.

Designers at London-based Jason Bruges Studio have found an easier way to transform the hospital. For the children's hospice on Great Ormond Street, they implemented the Nature Trail interactive project, which should smooth out the unpleasant experience of the child from visiting the operating room. On the wall in the hallway, the designers have placed a large digital panel depicting the inhabitants of the forest: hotels, hedgehogs, birds and frogs. The custom-made wallpaper integrates 72,000 LED elements, which light up in a different sequence, making the forest creatures appear on the wallpaper and seem to run along the wall surface - in total, the designers came up with 70 images. All of them are located at different levels to be seen by both small and older children.

JASON BRUDGES creator of interactive architectural integrations, founder of Jason Bruges StudioThe nature trail is the path that the little patient takes on his way to the operating room: in this way we wanted to distract and calm him. The walls turn into a canvas on which the forest creatures come to life. They protrude through trees and foliage and follow the child. We used 70 LED panels with different animals and a total of 72,000 LEDs to create interactive animations.
