Designing beyond trauma

“Our design strategies and methods are informed by the latest research into biophilic design through closer collaboration with experts such as Dr Phillip B. Roös and Lana Van Galen from Deakin University. They’re giving us new language around generous, multi-layered interiors that deploy natural patterns, textures, tones and, where possible materials (deployed judiciously given OH&S and infection control requirements), which help people find moments of comfort and reconnection: to nature, others or themselves.”

Thank you to Stephanie Clarke with Justin Littlefield and Cath Muhlebach of ClarkeHopkinsClarke Architects (CHC) for the acknowledgement in this insightful article about the important changes happening in models of care and trauma-informed design.
