PHAZE HEALTH AND WELLNESS CENTER
Project Goal
Jump to...
To redesign a two-story building in Lincoln, Massachusetts into a functional healthcare facility that inhabits an Emergency Department, Diagnostic Suite, Urgent Care Department, Short-term rehab facility, and a healing garden. While it is designed to function as such, the space itself is not meant to look or feel like a healthcare environment. With bright colors, spaces for relaxation throughout, and lots of natural light, PHAZE is a hospital that doesn’t look like a hospital.

Conceptual Work
The concept for the design of the PHAZE Health & Wellness Center is a caterpillar’s transition into a butterfly. PHAZE is all about fostering an environment in which everyone is able to transform and heal, becoming the best version of themselves, both physically and mentally. Everyone has potential to become their best and most beautiful selves, just like a caterpillar, and incorporating elements of the caterpillar’s transformative process will aid everyone who visits PHAZE to become a butterfly, that is, their best selves.

About the Healing Garden
The healing garden is the most central part of PHAZE Health & Wellness Center. It not only is a place where patients, staff, and visitors alike can come to destress and relax, but it is the culmination of the transformation concept that is so prominent throughout the rest of the design. It features a stone pathway, water fountain, areas for seating, access to elevators, lots of trees for shading, and butterflies that flutter throughout, all aspects that stimulate the senses for an immersive, transformative, and healing experience.
