The new 740,000-square-foot Palomar Medical Center in Escondido, Calif., added artful accents to its cafeteria and reception centers with design elements that help to promote a healing environment, according to the "Last Detail" feature on the Healthcare Facilities Management magazine website.

Created by RTKL Associates, Chicago, the graceful metal Waves wall art and golden Weave screens were fabricated by Móz Designs of Oakland, Calif., the article said. Waves were manufactured from .040-inch solid core aluminum and feature a bamboo grain with blue-toned Blendz color overlay. 

Highlighting the cafeteria seating areas are Móz Goldrush screens with coarse grain finish, constructed from .25-inch thick aluminum. RTKL Interior Designer Katie Baldwin, LEED AP, says the metal wall art was inspired by the visual tranquility of moving water.
