The design concept of large, over-scale circles and bold uses of color repeated in the floor, ceiling and walls creates interest, amusement, and diversion for young patients during brief stays at the hospital. The circle shapes in the floor mirror the soffits in various areas and provide a clean reflection to the fiber-optic star lighting. The flooring proves to be an integral aspect of the design with overlapping and intersecting circles creating beauty, movement, and a positive distraction throughout the corridors of the suite.
