Aged Care Design Ideas Competition – Honoring the design concepts of students from around the world who are currently enrolled in an interior design or interior architecture program or institution.
Yi Ti Zhou | oyForest was created specifically for children with mood disorders and is designed to feel like a forest playground. He identified pain points and wants to reduce children’s fear of visits to the doctor. The theme includes bright colors, the incorporation of wooden elements and safety aspects such as rounded corners used to reduce the risk of injury. To meet different needs, two types of consultation rooms are available for better space efficiency – larger rooms are for patients who need a full body examination or physiotherapy, while smaller rooms are for general examinations. The jungle-themed patient education area features a large tree-shaped bench designed alongside a running track and OFS series furniture, creating a pattern reminiscent of forest, river and scattered rocks. The size of the playground allows children to interact with peers and parents during treatment, avoiding being confined to small rooms. It is placed next to the outdoor space and encourages interaction with nature, with the aim of reducing stress during treatment and improving the effectiveness of treatment.

Alex Pitchford | Dawn Pediatrics celebrates the warmth of the sunrise over Baltimore and focuses on hope, optimism and renewal for patients. A symbol of the sun and new beginnings, the dawn represents transformation for patients with behavioral health problems and symbolizes a focus on a brighter future. With an emphasis on the daily colors of the sun, sky and native plants, the clinic ensures a positive and joyful patient experience. The lightness of the colors makes it possible to distinguish between public and private spaces, calmer colors indicate rest areas, and glass windows provide natural lighting. This concept focuses on the mindset of patients, which is directly related to behavioral health. The use of light and color serves a wide age range of patients, and the design spatially displays a strong flow of movement while conceptually mimicking the circular shape of the sun with window locations and a floor plan that is easy to navigate not only for patients but also for caregivers. Good.

Rahmanita Firuz Shafia, Theo Rahman Saleh, Farah Ainan Tijryani, Angelica Rasi Viandi, Indana Zulfia | Our Heavenly Haven Clinic inspires the feeling of going on a spaceship journey, the ultimate adventure from a child’s perspective. We have designed our concept to combine a caring environment for patients, family and staff with an environment that promotes a sense of peace and comfort. Our theme connects humanity to the infinite beauty of the universe, making visits stress-free and inspiring. Futuristic interiors use white, blue and yellow to evoke a clean, calm and happy space. We also focused on good ventilation and natural lighting, and on a circular traffic flow layout with well-lit lanes that are easy to follow. Akasa comes from Sanskrit and symbolizes the boundless vastness of space, which represents interconnectedness and the essence of life itself. We chose this word for our pediatric clinic because it embodies our belief that health is strongly influenced by the environment. Welcome to the AKASA Pediatric Clinic, where health meets heavenly wonders and children’s smiles light up the sky.
Jianqi Cheng, Qian Hu | Choco Health Clinic caters to the precise needs of children in behavioral therapy and aims to enrich their therapeutic journey with a magical and exploratory environment. Design elements inspired by the classic film Charlie and the Chocolate Factory stimulate the imagination. A nod to Baltimore’s industrial heritage, the theme of chocolate, candy, and the forest appears throughout the walkways and grooming stations that mimic forests and rivers. The natural lighting and soundproof design of the examination rooms ensure a sense of well-being and protect the privacy of patients and staff. The clinic emphasizes the importance of the role of the family in the therapeutic process, as in each examination room it provides certain spaces for family education and cooperation, strengthening the child support system and empowering families on the therapeutic path. Choco Health Clinic aims to provide professional services while creating an environment that feels safe and full of imagination. We hope to help children better understand their own emotions and behavior and thus encourage growth and development in their therapeutic journey.
Kaylyn Fidel | Luridae Behavioral Health was designed with Maryland’s native Petaluridae dragonfly in mind, a concept based on transformation and change to address the lack of access to health care and lack of trust in the health care system by low-income and black Americans that was designed this project. The accessible location and community-centered design elements include artwork created by Black artists, outdoor space for community engagement, community or community seating options, playful elements, and active pathfinding that contribute to a therapeutic environment. Overall, this children’s center uses the symbol of transformation of dragonflies, the Petaluridae, not only in its design, but also in its mission to close gaps in access to health care and build confidence among underserved populations.
