The Okyanos Heart Institute in Freeport, Bahamas, was designed to accommode clinical requirements and patient comfort. A case study on the Array Architects website discusses the design challenges of maximizing flow while providing a patient-focused experience. 

The Okyanos Heart Center is located on two floors of a commercial building. The space was designed to accommodate both clinical requirements as well as patient- and staff-flow best practices while creating a concierge-level surgery facility.
