HEALTHCARE Connecting Nature to Healing

HEALTHCARE Connecting Nature to Healing

Connecting to nature is fundamental to healing and growing strong.

Mahan Rykiel works to understand the needs of patients, staff, and families in the often stressful healthcare environment. Our projects reflect our conviction that there is measurable therapeutic value in contact with nature, and that the outdoors should be accessible to all, even if only through a window. We work with the principles of the Green Guide for Healthcare, LEED for Healthcare, and evidence based design that support patient-centered healthy environments.

We believe contact with nature is fundamental to healing and growing strong.

Philosophy

Mahan Rykiel Associates’ philosophy centers on the core pursuit of design – to construct meaning and build relationships in the world. The firm seeks to realize this in every project as it articulates ideas in matter through design. This act is born and reborn at every site, with every client and every collaborator. Research, dialogue, and discovery enable the real to be shaped by imagination – giving form to the invisible and substance to the intangible.
