We pride ourselves on being tapped to help solve complex architectural puzzles and our recent project at the University of Michigan Health’s Ypsilanti Health Center is a perfect example of what happens when innovative design meets professional installation.
When Michigan Medicine reached out, they needed more than just a regular old “padded room.” They were seeking a partner that could help them design a much needed safe and inviting sanctuary for their pediatric patients that was to become a calming room designed to provide comfort during difficult moments.
The project involved two primary walls, but there was a catch: one wall featured a significant curve. In our industry in particular, curves can be notoriously difficult. Given the unique design elements of the room, standard flat panels were no longer on the menu as they can create gaps, sharp corners, and a disjointed look that can actually be counter-productive in a de-escalation environment. To achieve a truly “custom” fit, our design team worked meticulously to ensure the padding followed the wall’s radius perfectly.
