The family way
In the LDRP room, there's plenty of room for
a table and chairs, a recliner, and a sleeper
sofa to accommodate the co-parent. Most
of the furniture is on wheels, so a family can
reconfigure the space at will. "There's space
carved out for everyone," Styrsky says.
"Some of these patients are going to spend
quite a bit of time here, so it becomes like
their home away from home."
The family focus was a key priority for
the design team, and the unit includes a
full kitchen and an adjacent respite area,
accessible to all patients and their visitors.
The spaces are not only intended to allow individual families to make themselves at home,
but to encourage intermingling with other
patients and their support teams.
"Community tables can be pulled together
for a shared meal," Styrsky says. "These
patients spend a lot of time with moms in
similar conditions, and they become like an
extended family."
Sensitivity and safety
The enveloping luxury and emphasis on keeping
the family close are support mechanisms, secondary to the unit's purpose of providing highly
specialized care for in utero babies and newborns
facing grave medical issues. This introduced a
high degree of delicacy in terms of designing the
unit in a way that's not only sensitive to the mothers' physical and emotional needs, but also fully
equipped with high-tech, easily accessible equipment, supplies, and systems that will allow staff
to respond swiftly and skillfully in an emergency.

equipped with a luxurious bathroom
loaded with hospitality touches. The
open shower space provides room
for the patient to be assisted by up to
two nurses; the fixtures and built-in
seat allow flexibility without looking
overly clinical. Below: An alternate
