CONCEPT

At the core of the design concept for the Osprey Avenue medical office building is a comfortable and calming patient experience through the implementation of Biophilic Design principles and a neutral material palette. The goal of the design was to create an environment that improves the patient’s healing process while creating a lasting impact making them come back for more care.
