Description
Breaking away from the sterile norms of healthcare architecture, Fundación Santa Fe’s Outpatient Care Tower is a vertical landscape of light, greenery, and movement. Designed as an upward spiral of interconnected wellness environments, it encourages visitors to explore, rest, and heal through its biophilic, evidence-based design.
Role
As sole project designer from AEI, I developed the preliminary research, schematic design, design development, and construction documentation for the tower's interior public areas. Also, I collaborated with partner studios, managed client presentations, and liaised with suppliers and hospital staff.
