The Impact of Design Series
Unity Health Care believes that Design Impacts Lives!

Who is Unity Health Care?

Unity Health Care is a team of compassionate and multicultural health professionals that provide a full range of health and human services that reach every facet of health, from pregnancy and infancy to senior years. They offer a team- based approach that encourages patients to become active participants in their own healthcare. 

Unity Health Care won the ASID 2019 Outcome of Design Award for the Unity Health Care Brentwood project located in Washington, D.C

Key design solutions and challenges:

Unity’s goal was to use design as a tool to help better serve patients and visitors, enhance the staff experience, strengthen bonds with the Brentwood community, and, ultimately, improve community health. They sought to create a sense of community and reflect the aesthetic preferences of the Brentwood neighborhood.

Some of the design solutions were:

  • Layout and furniture spacing
  • Diversity in seating type
  • Clear sight lines for clarity
  • Artwork designed around community
  • Trust building
  • Life-long community connection
