E4H collaborated with Children’s Health System of Texas to upgrade and modernize the existing inpatient imaging department. The primary challenge was working within the 45-year-old infrastructure, where building constraints restricted any possibility of expansion, making renovation the sole option. In addition to the refreshed interior design, E4H replaced and upgraded equipment and integrated an x-ray room into the main hospital imaging department.
While the department caters to pediatric patients, the vision was to craft a space that would be inclusive and appealing to all age groups. Embracing elements of biophilic design, the newly remodeled unit features three distinct procedure rooms, each thoughtfully themed around the seasons of spring, summer, and fall. The interior exudes warmth with rich colors and natural wood finishes to create an environment that soothes and comforts. Printed graphics were applied to rigid walls for easier maintenance and cleaning. The colorful floor pattern acts as a wayfinding element, ensuring families can navigate the space swiftly and effortlessly. The resulting space elevates patient experience and accommodates pediatric patients of all ages with an atmosphere of serenity and well-being.
