what’s the big idea?
Ava is derived from the Hebrew origin name Eve. The primary care clinic captures “the mother of all living” ambiance through appreciation of benefits humans receive through coexisting and utilizing resources of natural earth. The concept appreciates the history of natural medicine and finds inspiration in herbal Apothecaries . The design integrates a soft, nature-filled environment in the urban setting of Chicago, and is influenced by the natural elements of the earth. Implementing an interpretation of Biophilic Design using soft organic finishes, and an earth toned color palette allows the clinic to embody a spa-like feel to create a sense of “homefullness”.
