Peer Review


Your images are good, really paying attention to detail. I think the colors you chose have related to the forest and is a natural feel. Maybe look at the column in the middle and make sure that they can't easily climb on. The graphics of the detailed forest is good to show to better understand the levels of the forest. Im not exactly sure what is being shown by the other diagram, is that the outside or is that one of the PCUs? With the image above, the ceiling change is good, it stimulates the brain and eyes but isn't over stimulating. The lights on the ceiling work well with the space. In the patient rooms I'm not sure what is going on there are, you having it a neutral color to allow the patients to add there own personality? What materials are you using, it looks like maybe you were thinking about wood? The ceiling change in here is good as well they both work together to cohesive but still different to distinguish the different rooms. Is that shelving in the back wall of that it looks like stair shelves, or maybe a night stand. In the kids activity room, the room divider works well for the height of the children. What activities would they be doing in there? Make sure they can't climb on top of the s-curve divider and jump or hurt themselves. The designs look good!


What you have stated on your blog shows you have really looked at the space and pointed out the things you want to change and make it a more "happy place". I think the concept chosen works well for the clients. They are really missing out on the child exploration experience. Kids really do learn from there own experiences in exploration. Having different activities and spaces for kids to explore will make there minds think and gain knowledge. The points you have listed to change are all good ideas and will help the aesthetics of the space. Good to have interviewed someone to get different ideas to improve the space from the same age as the clients. Maybe just adding a few sketches will help to show ideas better as to what you were thinking of doing.
