fi nalist wellness + wellbeing Twig Fertility Toronto Founded by a small team who had gone through the IVF process themselves, Twig Fertility is a warm and inviting alternative to dreary, oſt en sterile, healthcare environments. Islyn Studio approached the project with compassion and empathy, drawing inspiration from the texture and color palett e of a butt erfl y wing-a symbol of new beginnings and the circle of life. The reception mixes off -white walls with walnut paneling, while the reimagined treatment rooms are imbued with an inviting residential quality that provides patients with a moment of respite.
