在医疗配置日益紧张的当下，设计的意义不再局限于美学和功能，演变成如何滋养、治愈和支持身处脆弱境地的人。House of Grey对此深以为然，并将这一理念应用于伦敦市中心Whittington医院的新生儿重症监护病房（NICU）的空间改造之中。通过对家庭咨询室与员工休息室的重新设计，为患者和医护人员构建一种长期的支持。
In today's increasingly strained medical configuration, the meaning of design is no longer limited to aesthetics and function, but has evolved to nourish, heal and Support people in vulnerable situations. House of Grey took this concept seriously and applied it to the space transformation of the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) at Whittington Hospital in central London. Through the redesign of the family consultation room and the staff lounge, a long-term support for patients and staff is created.
House of Grey一直践行，为生态系统中的个体创造提升健康与生命活力的机遇与环境。由此，设计围绕Salutogenic（健康生成学）理念展开，与传统医院强调疾病治疗的逻辑不同，Salutogenic鼓励创造更具包容性、温暖和人性化的空间，使人们不仅在生理上获得康复，也能在心理上获得支持与安慰。项目包含三个诊治和健康的空间；一个为员工提供安静的休息室；一个为父母提供呵护的场所，陪他们共同面对人生中艰难的时刻。
House of Grey has been practicing to create opportunities and environments for individuals in the ecosystem to enhance health and vitality. Therefore, the design revolves around the concept of Salutogenic, which is different from the logic of traditional hospitals emphasizing disease treatment. Salutogenic encourages the creation of a more inclusive, warm and humane space, so that people can not only recover physically, but also obtain psychological support and comfort. The project consists of three therapeutic and wellness Spaces; A quiet lounge for staff; A nurturing place for parents to accompany them through the difficult times of life.
"循环健康的设计理念，是在我住院生子时意识到的。当时刺眼的日光灯和整体环境设计无法滋养我的心灵，也无助于产后心理康复。我渴望获得支持，也希望医护人员能在最佳状态下工作，而不是被迫在充满压力与挑战的环境中勉强应付。"
“The design concept of circular health was realized when I was in the hospital to give birth. The glare of fluorescent lamps and the overall environmental design at that time did not nourish my mind, nor did it help postpartum psychological recovery. I am eager for support and for medical staff to work at their best, rather than being forced to muddle through in a stressful and challenging environment.”
– Louisa Grey, Founder of House of Grey
“滋养”，即员工休息室，是医院内一个安静的空间。医院的高压环境使得医护人员长期处于身心俱疲的状态，一个能够提供心理支持和情绪调节的休息室的配置显得至关重要。在“滋养空间”中，循环健康的设计原则被应用于为医护人员创造一个宁静的环境，帮助他们在轮班后实现心理和情绪上的释放，有利于自我身心的调节。
"Nurture", the staff lounge, is a quiet space within the hospital. The high-pressure environment of the hospital makes the medical staff in a state of physical and mental exhaustion for a long time, and the configuration of a lounge that can provide psychological support and emotional regulation is crucial. In the "Nourishing Space", the design principles of circular health are applied to create a peaceful environment for medical staff to achieve mental and emotional release after their shift, which is conducive to their own physical and mental adjustment.

▲Pium墙灯的灵感来自于种子荚，它以雕塑感的金属框架为基础，与墙面保有一定间距，以微倾角度优雅呈现，光穿过外层覆以亚麻与香蕉植物纤维交织的多层次面料，营造出柔和的光影效果。
虽然休息室是一个紧凑的空间，但仍能容纳和适应员工不断变化的需求。考虑到它的占地面积小，设计时非常注重符合人体工程学和模块化的元素应用，以最大限度地提高舒适度和功能性，将灵活配置的家具融入到环境照明和自然纹理中。
While the lounge is a compact space, it still accommodates and ADAPTS to the changing needs of employees. Given its small footprint, it was designed with a strong focus on ergonomic and modular application of elements to maximize comfort and functionality, incorporating flexibly configured furniture into ambient lighting and natural textures.

House of Grey设计工作室以无偿的设计方式，将原本冰冷乏味的医疗环境，通过“循环健康”的设计理念，重塑为促进健康、振奋人心的疗愈空间。“滋养空间”为助产士营造一个在轮班间隙自我调节、恢复元气的心灵空间，使她们能以最佳状态提供照护，做出最理性的临床决策。
House of Grey Design Studio has transformed the original cold and boring medical environment into a health-promoting and inspiring healing space through the design concept of "circular health" in a free design way. Nourish Space creates a mental space for midwives to self-regulate and rejuvenate between shifts, enabling them to provide care at their best and make the most rational clinical decisions.

“治愈”，即咨询室。对于NICU新生儿的家庭来说，医院不仅是一个治疗之所，更是他们面对焦虑、悲伤与不确定性的空间。咨询室的设计需要提供安全感与情感慰藉，使家长在最脆弱的时刻获得支持。
"Cure," the consulting room. For the families of NICU newborns, the hospital is not only a place of healing, but also a space where they face anxiety, grief and uncertainty. Counseling rooms need to be designed to provide a sense of security and emotional comfort so that parents can be supported in their most vulnerable moments.

健康设计优先考虑心理、情感以及身体的康复。House of Grey认为，精心设计的环境可以唤起安全感和信任感。空间设计采用柔和的曲线而不是尖锐的几何形态，营造一种拥抱感而不是束缚感。配色的灵感则来自大自然，选用让人平静的中性色调。
Health design prioritizes mental, emotional, and physical healing. House of Grey believes that well-designed environments can evoke a sense of security and trust. The space design uses soft curves rather than sharp geometric forms to create a sense of embrace rather than bondage. The color scheme is inspired by nature and uses neutral tones that calm people.

House of grey希望更多的创意团队与设计社群参与其中，通过捐赠建材、家具的方式协力支持这个项目。这将帮助医院实施“循环健康设计”方案，确保为NHS——这个英国多数人赖以生存的公共医疗体系——打造最美观、最有益健康且最合理的空间，为当地社区带来积极影响。
House of grey hopes that more creative teams and the design community will join in and support the project by donating building materials and furniture. This will help hospitals implement Circular health Design, ensuring the most beautiful, wholesome and sensible Spaces for the NHS - the public healthcare system on which most people in the UK depend - have a positive impact on local communities.

“支持”，即家长休息室，它是一个物理空间，更是一个让家庭成员彼此支持、分享经历、共同面对挑战的场所。与医院常见的临床环境不同，这里被塑造为 “第二个家”，让家长在此可以找到熟悉感和归属感。
"Support", the parent lounge, is a physical space, but also a place for family members to support each other, share experiences, and face challenges together. Unlike the usual clinical setting of a hospital, it is shaped as a "second home" where parents can find familiarity and a sense of belonging.

空间布局源自医疗保健领域的“健康促进设计”（Salutogenic Design），是通过有意识地在室内的每个细节中融入健康元素，积极促进个体康复、提供休憩空间并帮助人们重获健康的设计理念。在此项目中，设计将回归本源，在临床环境营造有效的健康生态。
The spatial layout is derived from the "Salutogenic Design" in the field of healthcare, which is a design concept that actively promotes individual recovery, provides leisure space and helps people regain health by consciously incorporating health elements into every detail of the interior. In this project, the design will return to its roots and create an effective health ecology in the clinical environment.

对House of Grey而言，惠廷顿医院具有特殊意义——它坐落于北伦敦社区核心，正是设计工作室办公及其创始人居住的所在地。团队成员或曾造访，或曾在此就医，更有工作室成员在此迎来新生命的诞生。
Whittington Hospital has special meaning for House of Grey - it sits in the heart of a North London community where the design studio works and its founder lives. Team members have visited, or have been here for medical treatment, and some studio members have ushered in the birth of new lives here.
NHS目前面临着严峻的医疗资源挑战，但这也为医疗环境的重新思考提供了契机。House of Grey通过Salutogenic循环设计，改变人们对医院的刻板印象，使其成为一个充满希望和治愈的能量空间。他们的实践证明，设计不仅可以支持身体健康，还可以滋养心灵，而这正是未来医疗空间应该发展的方向。
The NHS is currently facing a serious resource challenge, but this also provides an opportunity to rethink the healthcare environment. The House of Grey is designed through Salutogenic cycles to change people's stereotypes of the hospital and make it an energy space full of hope and healing. Their practice proves that design can not only support the health of the body, but also nourish the mind, and this is the direction that the medical space should develop in the future.
Whittington医院的NICU设计改造项目为我们展示了空间如何激发出希望、培养韧性，并在社区之间建立深层的连接可能。它提醒我们，优质、可及的医疗服务不应只体现于医疗技术，而应包含更多人性化的关怀。未来，我们期待看到更多以福祉、可持续性和人际联系为核心的医疗空间出现，让它真正成为康复、支持和希望的场所。
Whittington Hospital's NICU renovation project shows how space can inspire hope, foster resilience and create a deep connection between communities. It reminds us that quality and accessible medical services should not only be reflected in medical technology, but should include more humane care. In the future, we look forward to seeing more healthcare Spaces with well-being, sustainability and human connection at their core, making it truly a place of healing, support and hope.
