Synthesize!! Concept exploration!
The concept to be developed for Central Regional Hospital is based upon the idea of a "horizonal perspective". The overall interior will possess color, lighting, patterns, and objects of horizon scenes. The purpose is to create not only a relaxing and enriching environment, but to also provide the idea that the clients have a bright and vast life possibilities ahead of them.
