Waterfall City Hospital Paediatric Ward
Art Direction, Design & Illustration
The Waterfall City Hospital is part of the Netcare Group and is situated between Pretoria and Johannesburg in South Africa.
At Waterfall City, their core value is care – it is the basis of their business. The pride they take in the delivery of their special brand of compassionate and intimate care is unrivalled and this fact was at the core when designing and ideating the magical elements and graphics for the paediatric ward.
In order to make the nurses and environment less daunting for the children in the ward, we broke away from the traditional nurses station and common play area and created a whole new magical building bock inspired design that encourages learning and play whilst forming part of the functional environment. The concept was further extended into the common play area, where functional items such as selves formed part of the wallpaper design, creating a seamless and friendly play area.
