D.C. healthcare facility waiting room wins Generative Space Award

The Unity Health Care waiting room redesign project honored for involving community in design process

The resulting design reflects their input on color, pattern and the story of the community, and by weaving these elements into the space, it inherently feels more welcoming to the people who visit and work there, according to an architect on the project.

The design team hosted community and staff events, surveyed staff and observed people using the waiting room to gather insights into what was important to patients and staff who visit and work at the health center.
