Mina saker; Mitt rum. Patientrum för långtidssjuka barn och ungdomar

Abstract

The aim of this project was to create an interior design for a children’s hospital patient room with the concept to adapt the room for the wide target group from 0-18 years of age. The analysis in the project is based on the hospital ward 322 at Drottning Silvias Children’s and Youth Hospital in Gothenburg. It’s an oncology ward where the children are very sensitive for infections and therefore need to be isolated in their rooms for 3-4 weeks. The main goal for the project was to create a room that works as a template and gives the people who lives in it the opportunity to create thier own room based on the personal things they bring into it, and how they decide to furnish and use the room. The result of the project is a template room with fixed furniture that can be transformed due to screens in the room. There are three different example rooms that have the same base template but different color schemes to show how they can be applied as a whole in the hospital ward.
