Proposed New Facility

Program:

A 30,000 SF mixed-use facility for a social service Foundation, whose mission is to help persons and families that have been affected by cancer. The facility includes reception area, an administration department, mammography and a medical clinic, daycare facility, kitchen, mobile meals, “His Harvest” retail store and warehouse.

As a reflection of the Foundation's desire to be caring and nurturing, the design gathers itself informally around a central “lantern” which gives the facility its identity. The use of familiar materials, building forms, landscaping and a water element at the entrance all help to convey a feeling of comfort and reassurance to people during difficult times.
