CONTEXT

This prototype patient room forms part of a broader research project exploring how gender, generational differences, and neurodiversity inform the experience of care environments. The concept places particular emphasis on acoustics, examining how the room’s sound environment can better accommodate varied sensory needs. A homelike atmosphere is central to the design, with the aim of creating a space that feels familiar and welcoming rather than institutional. The prototype explores how this sense of comfort can be balanced with easy-to-clean surfaces suited to a patient care setting.
