Vallejo Hospital Courtyard Refresh

The Kaiser Vallejo Courtyard project aims to create a central retreat that promotes healing and wellness by providing members with a tranquil space to unwind, connect with others, and find respite from daily stressors. The project’s core objectives focus on reducing anxiety through serene design elements, connecting occupants with nature through organic materials and finishes, and creating a comfortable environment that actively supports recovery and overall well-being.

The “Urban Retreat” design concept draws inspiration from Vallejo’s unique positioning between natural waterfront and urban cityscape environments, incorporating this duality through carefully selected colors, patterns, and finishes that capture the vibrancy of the city while maintaining a calming atmosphere. The design features multiple flexible seating options to accommodate individual preferences and experiences, while integrating Kaiser Standards program materials that align with the organization’s Total Health Environment philosophy. Warm wood tones combined with neutral tiles create an inviting space that incorporates the therapeutic sounds of water, delivering a peaceful escape that serves both members and staff.
