❤️ Happy Valentine’s Day! ❤️
Here’s to creating spaces that inspire and heal. From welcoming homes to dynamic workplaces and cutting-edge healthcare facilities, we design with heart—literally.
A perfect example? Cor, a newly completed 3D art installation in the new lobby at Glenbrook Hospital’s Cardiovascular Institute Expansion. Latin for “heart,” Cor is a sculptural representation of the human heart, symbolizing the life-saving care happening within these walls.
