Serving in the field of healthcare facility design over the last 4 decades; opened so many doors for us to experience the needs of different societies around the world. Especially small neighborhoods who are geographically and economically isolated and at a very high risk of social exclusion. Being so eager to serve and give something positive back, we have established our foundation in 2007, through which, we have directed our full academic knowledge and long experience in healthcare facility design toward developing sustainable solutions that can achieve better accessibility to healthcare services and green neighborhoods.
Our work come in cooperation with those highly committed to “the ART OF giving” and who are taking other nations´ needs into high consideration. Together we highlight these needs, we evaluate the situation, and we draw an action plan that can bring hope and relief.
