Modern Demands on Healthcare Facilities – Healing Environments: Architecture That Heals

Today's healthcare architecture no longer focuses solely on medical-functional aspects. Instead, the individual takes center stage – both patients and medical and nursing staff. Studies show that a consciously designed environment can shorten recovery times, alleviate pain, and reduce the risk of infection.

Natural materials, soothing color schemes, plenty of daylight, and views of greenery promote emotional well-being and have a positive impact on healing and the working atmosphere. An impressive example of this is the Zurich Children's Hospital, which sets new standards in hospital architecture with light-filled rooms and a spa-like atmosphere (Source: theguardian.com).

Primex supports this development with innovative solutions that noticeably increase well-being and have a lasting effect on health, the working atmosphere, and the perception of the facility.

The advantages at a glance:

  • Stress-reduced, calming environment: Promotes patient well-being and satisfaction.
  • Pleasant lighting and acoustic conditions: Create motivating and healthy working conditions for staff.
  • Health-promoting room structures: Support employee retention and facilitate the recruitment of skilled workers.
  • Improved concentration and recovery conditions: Reduce stress and absenteeism.
  • High-quality design with functional effect: Enhances the rooms and improves the perception of the facility.
  • Cost-effective and quick implementation: Often possible even during ongoing operations, without extensive structural changes.
  • Future-proof solutions for healthcare spaces

With these holistic approaches, Primex offers practical and sustainable solutions for future-oriented healthcare facilities. The focus is always on people – those who work, heal, and recover there.

Light

Human Centric Lighting (HCL): Light for Body and Mind
HCL is based on the natural course of daylight and supports the human biorhythm. Dynamically controllable light ceilings and walls simulate sunrises and sunsets, promote concentration during the day, and improve sleep at night. Especially in windowless areas such as treatment rooms or functional departments, such lighting solutions create a pleasant atmosphere for patients and staff (Source: lightingeurope.org)

acoustics

Acoustic Solutions: Serenity for Healing and Concentration
Noise in medical facilities can cause stress and hinder recovery. Acoustic pictures, ceiling baffles, and partitions absorb disruptive sounds and improve speech intelligibility. In waiting areas, multi-bed rooms, or hallways, these solutions create a quieter environment that benefits both patients and staff.

Design

Design & Function: Individual Design with Added Value
Our products combine aesthetics and functionality. Whether round, square, or free-form acoustic elements – we offer customized solutions that blend harmoniously into the existing room concept. Thanks to high-quality textile prints, acoustic pictures can be designed with calming motifs or informative content. The textiles are interchangeable without tools, allowing for flexible adaptation to changing needs.

Application in diverse fields

  • Reception & Waiting Areas: Light walls provide orientation and enhance dark areas. Acoustic solutions ensure discretion and reduce noise levels.
  • Treatment Rooms: HCL solutions and acoustic pictures promote a relaxed atmosphere that supports both patients and medical staff.
  • Staff Areas: Light ceilings with daylight-like control and acoustic optimizations improve working conditions and increase employee satisfaction.
  • Hospital Rooms: Dimmable light ceilings and acoustic partitions create a pleasant environment that supports the healing process and can shorten the length of stay.

Designing for Recovery: Light and Design in the Patient Room

A thoughtfully designed hospital room can be more than just functional – it can contribute to healing. Our corner solution connects the wall and ceiling to form a unified visual surface. A calming tree motif thus becomes a harmonious focal point that patients can perceive even when lying down. The design concept is complemented by a dimmable LED element with daylight-like control. It supports the natural biorhythm and creates a pleasant lighting atmosphere around the clock. The combination of design and function creates an environment that conveys peace and promotes recovery.

Natural light effects for more calm in MRI and therapy rooms
MRI and radiation therapy rooms are usually located deep inside clinic buildings – without windows, without daylight. For patients, this can feel oppressive and stress-inducing. Our LED light panels provide targeted relief: Large-format ceiling motifs with gentle clouds or illuminated forest images create a sense of openness and nature. They generate a realistic lighting atmosphere, have a calming effect, and reduce the perception of stress. This creates an atmosphere that enhances well-being – for more relaxed treatments and a more pleasant working environment.

An Atmosphere of Security and Comfort

Modern care concepts focus on atmosphere and well-being. Our LED wall art creates a calming and inviting spatial effect with gentle, adaptable light – ideal for hallways, common areas, or cafeterias.
The technology allows for individual light control that adapts to the daily rhythm, thereby supporting the well-being of residents. A simple yet effective solution to transform care facilities into places of security and comfort.

Elderly people in particular often have problems with hearing or acoustic intelligibility. However, doctor-patient conversations should be understood by everyone.

Use soundproofing pictures when furnishing your practice rooms. The acoustic elements not only help to improve the room acoustics, but also create a special feel-good atmosphere with their wonderful motifs. The sound-absorbing pictures also create a pleasant working environment. The motifs can be exchanged easily and without tools, so that new designs can always be accommodated.

Clinic hallways
Clinic hallways

Wall design in clinics should also not be disregarded. Long corridors often appear very dreary, and one can lose their bearings.

Our example shows a corridor design with a motif divided into several pictures. The varied design can, for example, help create orientation within individual floors in a clinic. Dark corridors can be illuminated with LED wall art and made more pleasant with natural motifs. The acoustics in corridors also play a role. If there is heavy traffic in the corridors, acoustic pictures can reduce noise levels and minimize echo.
We offer an acoustic calculation to ensure optimal room acoustics in accordance with DIN18041.

Changing Rooms
Changing Rooms

We offer you an individual design for your changing rooms for patients or employees. It has been proven that color schemes have an impact on the human psyche. Give patients a feeling of security and calm in the changing rooms. Undressing before an examination or treatment is not easy for many. It is all the more important that these people do not have to undress in bare, impersonal rooms. The patient is always at the forefront of treatment. That's why the design and spatial arrangement of changing rooms should also be a focus. In our example, you can see wall cladding with a dandelion motif in pastel shades.

Dentist

A visit to the dentist can sometimes be stressful for patients. Also because during the often unpleasantly perceived treatment, one stares at a white ceiling and time doesn't seem to pass.

You can make your treatment room more attractive with our ceiling baffles and dampen the unpleasant sound of the drill with acoustic pictures, while simultaneously bringing an attractive design into the treatment room. Beautiful motifs that distract patients and shorten treatment time will enhance your dental practice.

Physical therapy
Physical therapy

Why can't treatment also be wellness? With our illuminated walls, you can bring impressive effects into the treatment. But it's not just an experience for the patients; you also transform the workplace and create a feel-good atmosphere for your employees.
The lighting is sufficient to bathe small rooms in a warm or cool light, so no additional lamps are needed. We are happy to assist you with the selection of color concepts and motif ideas. Of course, acoustic pictures or acoustic room dividers can also be wonderfully incorporated here, which facilitate work and create privacy, especially in open-plan architectures.

Functional departments
Functional departments

These departments are purely for diagnostics or surgery and, due to their function, are usually located in sterile rooms indoors without windows. This means working without daylight, under cold light, and poses a particular challenge. The employees here deal with constantly changing patients, the schedule is tightly packed, fears of unknown examinations must be alleviated in the shortest possible time, and concentration must not wane.

By installing our light walls, you open up these areas to the outside and create a more pleasant working environment. Suitable motifs, such as a sun-drenched forest, have a calming effect and reduce stress for both employees and patients.
