The Challenge: Functional and Secure Storage for Modern Healthcare Environments
The Specialist Group was appointed to complete the interior design of seven new hospitals in Ireland, each following the innovative Community Nursing Unit (CNU) model.
These hospitals prioritize a person-centered approach to care, offering 25-bed households that include single and twin bedrooms with en-suite facilities. The aim was to create a homely, comfortable environment while supporting staff in performing everyday tasks efficiently.
To complement the modern design, the hospitals required:
- Lockable storage solutions for securing personal belongings and patients’ medications.
- A design that aligns with the contemporary decor of the facilities.
