• Resumen

  • Interior design can both support healthcare staff's working practices and help patients to relax and recover. A holistic approach is crucial: structural, visual, haptic and acoustic aspects each have their part to play. Cologne-based interior architect Sylvia Leydecker is a specialist in this field. Here, she describes two recent projects by her practice, 100% interior, where a sense of closeness to nature (inside and out) combines with cutting-edge technology and environmental awareness to ensure a positive environment for patients and their families, as well as for those attending to them.
