Cornell Anderson and Tonia Hein, co-founders and principals at Portland, Oregon and Samsø, Denmark based Fieldwork, will discuss their Northwest Functional Neurology project, recipient of a 2022 AIA Oregon Architecture Awards Honor Award. The project has been designed to maximize the healing experience by minimizing neurologic triggers that impede recovery. The clinic serves as a calm, welcoming space for patients seeking neurological treatment solutions. Located in Lake Oswego, Oregon, the project provides a multitude of treatment, rehabilitation, and therapy spaces, all enhanced by the design of the space which includes soft lighting and materials selected by the project team.
Utilizing materials such as frosted glass and wool wrapped walls and furniture, the light and sound in the space are directly and intentionally controlled to create a calming and restorative environment. The rounded benches, walls, light fixtures and furnishings add to the thematic softness of the project, creating a gentle environment for patients of the clinic. The use of wood throughout the clinic also contributes to the warmth of the material palette, giving the overall space a patient-focused atmosphere.
While much of the program is dedicated to treatment rooms and rehabilitation spaces, the staff kitchen, patient lounge, and spacious lobby allow for extended moments of material expression and beauty. Attention to detail and focus on creating a healing and cohesive atmosphere allow this project to serve as a client-focused, design-driven space, as visually elegant as it is impactful for patients and staff alike.
