Our project for UChicago Medicine is a wonderful example of how human-forward healthcare design can change how you feel going to the doctor and create a welcoming, tranquil experience for patients. The Perkins&Will Branded Environments team designed a space that is bright, dynamic, and inspired by the natural beauty of nearby Lake Michigan, all with the goal of removing the clinical feel from a doctor's visit. Bluewater Studio was selected to manage, engineer, fabricate, and install this innovative design, which included 3form feature walls, LED seating nooks cycling through a series of nature-inspired colors, and a large-scale suspended art piece made from 400 translucent colored acrylic squares. Every detail, color, sample, and fit-and-finish was meticulously considered and evaluated during the final production process, resulting in a waiting lounge that is both beautiful and patient-focused. #bluewaterstudio #perkinsandwill #uchicago #humanforwarddesign #humancentereddesign #healthcaredesign #healthcarelobby

Bluewater Studio worked closely with the Forest County Potawatomi Community to develop and produce this stunning exhibit within a unique 12-sided gallery. Acclaimed by the community and visitors alike, this exhibit features a magnificent range of physical elements, hands-on interactives, artifact cases, wall graphics, and multiple media experiences, including adedicated theatre space. This is representative of a growing body of indigenous museum projects led by Bluewater Studio and developed in collaboration with our partners at Lord Cultural Resources and WeatherstonBruer Associates. #bluewaterstudio #museumdesign #exhibitdesign #indigenousmuseum #culturalmuseum #culturalexhibit #designbuild

Sometimes, increasing visitor engagement merely requires an imaginative approach. We are highlighting two projects that engage multiple generations through interactive design: · Bluewater Studio was selected by the Cranbrook Art Museum to create a mini golf course on their grounds. Working closely with the designers at A Couple of Putts, we produced ten custom-designed holes inspired by the rich legacy of art and design. [Photo credit: Cranbrook Art Museum] · Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park wanted to create a unique space for young children to play. Our team produced and installed an immersive family garden experience, including a lushly illustrated custom carpet and an array of interactive elements that have proven wildly popular with young visitors. #bluewaterstudio #cranbrookartmuseum #meijergardens #designfabrication #museumdesign #visitorengagement Cranbrook Academy of Art
