After Hours Pediatrics I

After Hours Pediatrics I

Albuquerque, NM

There’s no doubt After Hours Pediatrics was designed for children. Open late at night on Albuquerque’s west side, every design consideration was given to put young patients and their families at ease at a time when children may be anxious or sick and often both.

The scale of the new building fits into the residential surroundings, with a welcoming front door and colorful waiting area, including a secured patio – all designed to be familiar and comforting to clients.

Colorful yet lasting detailed images that reference the outdoors are part of the patient experience. A curving stream of blue linoleum flows down the hall floor. Above, the ceiling looks like the sky. The walls are finished with multi-color specialty paint that conceals scuffs and protects with walls. Whimsical lights of objects that fly, brighten the spaces. Even the plumbing fixtures are kiddie-size. The feel is friendly and the children see and feel the difference.
