About the Location

Medical Design Constraints

McKayla Crump

Surrounded by mountains, rivers and lakes, Bend, Oregon is known for its endless outdoor activities, no matter the season. For this reason, it is important that the hospital rooms at St. Charles are reflective of the mood of the town, a calming oasis of nature, fresh air and 300 days of sunshine.

Mike Putnam Photography

It is key that the appropriate artwork is selected for medical spaces. Color, shape, composition and context are extremely important, as art has the ability to affect people's experience. For this particular space, I selected picturesque landscape photography from local photographers. Landscapes generally contain organic colors and shapes, and allow nervous patients to feel at ease during what is often a stressful time.
