Riverside Regional Hospital

Riverside replaces an aging facility with a hospital designed around a simple conviction — that the environment of care is itself a form of care.

Patient rooms are arranged along the building’s south and east faces, giving every bed direct daylight and a view to the landscaped courtyards below. Nursing cores are pulled to the interior, shortening travel distances while keeping clinical activity out of the patient’s line of sight.

A full-height atrium anchors the public concourse, washing the waiting areas in indirect light and making the building legible at a glance. Materials are deliberately restrained — warm timber, soft stone, and acoustic surfaces that lower the ambient stress of a busy medical floor.
