Kaiser Permanente's new medical office building on Capitol Hill is a perfect example of such a space and we were very excited to have the chance to flex our creative muscles with this project. Working closely with the client, we decided that the best approach was to use a mixture of a variety of media and styles rather than sticking with an assortment of a single type of art. The mixture of paintings, photography, wall mounted ceramic and glass sculpture and prints on plexiglas and bamboo panels provide a rich variety while the three-dimensional nature of many of the pieces adds depth to the space. We think that the art chosen for the space goes a long way to scrub away any last traces of the \"clinical\" feel that can oftentimes make hospitals and doctors' offices seem so unwelcoming, instead providing a sense of warmth and openness that we hope makes the space that much more pleasant for the staff to work in and for patients to experience during their visits to the facility.";}
