Schematic Design/Built

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Spring 2017

- My role within the following project occurred at all levels and was highly-involved. When we first received the idea from the client, Paul Coughlin and I completed several iterations of the room units and after insight from medical professionals, we settled on the single, double, M.R.I. and operating rooms. I aided in the production and design decisions for the schematic drawings, as well as produced every graphic element of the project, including showroom banners. -

This modular design project is developed for the acute care provider, MedModular. The modular units are intended to feed parallel hospital prototype projects current under development with MedModular. All room typologies are designed interchangeably and can be inserted and constructed in any variety of combinations and types with a variety of finishes. Rooms are assembled in a factory in a repeatable process and can be customized and standardized for all healthcare settings and end users. Units are then flat-packed and shipped to locations world wide, faster and more cost effective than traditional site construction.

The showroom, redone light and minimally, ensures the primary focal point is the flat pack construction singlepatient hospital unit it contains. The secondary focal point of the space are the walls, which are lined with banners explaining MedModular from its multiplicity of room types and implementation, to its large scale construction and implementation. The patient room prototype was constructed in Finland by ADMARES.

Three building concepts were created: low, medium, and high rise.
