Floors & Walls in Bright Colours for Haven House from Altro

Altro brings all things bright and beautiful to children's hospice

Issue

Haven House Children's Hospice in Woodford Green, Essex, provides the highest level of respite and palliative care to families and young people from birth to 19 years old who have life-limiting or life-threatening conditions. In the hospice children benefit from a range of play activities, as well as day and overnight stays. They also have access to music therapy, aquatic physiotherapy, physiotherapy, and therapeutic yoga.

Approach

Haven House interiors needed to be hard-wearing and functional, because a lot of areas are clinical spaces. Altro was recommended by Great Ormond Street Hospital. A visit to Altro's offices at Letchworth proved to be inspiration for the design scheme at Haven House.

Solution

The brightest and boldest Altro floor and wall products have been used, with rainbow staircases and cleverly colour zoned areas making the facility strikingly beautiful inside and out.

A few months after the refurbishment, the feedback from children, staff and visitors to their new colourful environment at Haven House has been overwhelming.
