Degree Production: Neonatal Intensive Care Unit








Concept: BIO-MIMICKING THE FLOW OF SPERMATOZOON IN THE OVUM
The incubators in the care unit are assigned with different colours. Wayfinding is achieved through the application of similar colours to light panels embedded in the floor. In addition, this colour coding approach promotes a sense of belonging for the families. The furniture layout is configured in a manner that facilitates the circulation flow and nurses' routine.

Sufficient floor area at baby stations encourages parents to participate in care-giving. Issues relating to the height and materiality of baby stations have been dealt with to provide privacy for the families. Ceiling-mounted screens facilitate nurses’ monitoring routine on infants’ conditions.

The pod-like incubator provides visual comfort to parents compared to conventional box-like incubator. This mobile incubator is designed to incorporate a seat, which can be inserted under the incubator platform.

The visuals produced for this design project were incorporated in DOCUMENT 12, ISSUE 2003/2004 published by Curtin University of Technology, Faculty of Built Environment, Art and Design, Department of Architecture and Interior Architecture, 2005
