Design For Life
Creating wholesome experiences for healing, health, and heart
Heartfelt hospitality
Designing environments that heal starts with making patients, families, and caregivers feel welcome, inspired, and ready to move forward. Even in acute care settings, when “hospitality” intersects with “hospital,” patient outcomes improve, and staff members feel fulfilled. Our inspiration sprang from rehabilitation, spread to age-sensitive design responses and now encompasses every scale – from the hospital or clinic to the patient room, bathroom, and beyond to innovative furniture and product solutions.

Leadership in healthcare and accessibility
Michael Graves became a reluctant expert overnight when he suddenly became paralyzed from the chest down. His heartbreaking experiences as a patient and paraplegic stirred him to devote his final 12 years to becoming one of the nation’s most influential leaders in healthcare design and a champion for accessibility. He challenged and inspired the firm’s designers to create innovative and effective solutions for medical products and facilities that improve the experience of patients and caregivers alike. His legacy will endure.
