A new women's hospital planned for the Florida Hospital Orlando campus
balances a modern healthcare environment with nature-inspired design to
create a space that soothes and heals By Jennifer Kovacs Silvis
In an effort to boost its women's services in central
Florida, Florida Hospital Orlando is building a new
hospital dedicated to everything from pre-pregnancy
and wellness services to maternal fetal medicine and
gynecologic oncology.
Designers at VOA Associates Inc. (Orlando, Fla.)-
which provided overall image and brand development,
concept design, schematic design, construction
documents, and art and furniture consultation on the
project-alongside building architect HKS Inc. (Dallas),
set out to strike a balance between a modern healthcare environment and a healing aesthetic, turning to
the patient experience to guide design solutions.
Natural light abounds thanks to plenty of access
to the outdoors in the atrium, lobby corridors, and
recovery rooms, creating an open and bright space
throughout. The two-story lobby is wrapped in a glass
wall to further reflect incoming rays, including those
thrown out by a nearby chandelier. This sculptural
piece was designed to serve as a guiding light for patients as they move through the hospital and is visible
from its pedestrian bridge, lobby, and patient floors.
Art plays a role in the design in a number of other
ways, too, including fluted columns in the lobby that
are decorated with various mosaic glass tile scenes to
abstractly represent bible narratives of women for the
faith-based institution. Wooden archways also add
definition to the interiors by denoting entry points to
registration, triage, and marketplace areas.
Patient rooms, too, feature a nod to the arts with
decorative headwalls that reduce the clinical feel
while still offering easy access to medical equipment
for staff. Additionally, the hospital's 72 postpartum
beds, 72 post-surgery beds, and 14 labor and
delivery suites are steeped in natural daylight that's
enhanced with alcove lighting on the ceilings to create an ambient glow.
Construction is expected to be complete in fall
2015. HCD
