Vera Country Homes

Efficiency, Collaboration, and Warmth

Vera Country Homes presented an exciting opportunity to design an advanced primary care center that blends upscale hospitality with efficient healthcare. The clinic’s holistic wellness model centers on coaching and collaboration, guiding our design to support both patients and staff. Open office spaces, consultation rooms for one-on-one coaching, and a large conference room for wellness classes ensure the space fosters interaction and efficiency. We also considered programming efficiencies, interior design, finishes, furniture, and brand standards to ensure future scalability. The existing building required a complete remodel to meet the clinic’s needs. We redesigned the space to centralize providers’ work areas, improve staff workflows, and prioritize patient experience, all while ensuring HIPAA compliance and using materials that convey warmth and hospitality. The reception and waiting areas now feel modern and welcoming, with a wood-slat ceiling, pendant lighting, and a skylight. Separate waiting zones for healthy and sick patients enhance care, while a fish tank adds a calming touch in the children's area. This homelike atmosphere carries throughout the clinic, with wood accents, local artwork, and a fresh color palette. Patient rooms feature extra insulation and white noise for privacy, while spacious exam rooms accommodate families and caregivers. For staff, we designed for efficiency and collaboration, with open office pods, easy access to supplies, and dedicated spaces for quiet time and lactation. An equipment planning package ensures seamless testing from exam rooms, while an implementation package simplifies clinic setup. Ultimately, Vera Country Homes Care Clinic is designed to make patients feel comfortable, cared for, and valued, supporting overall wellness for everyone in the space.
