PORTFOLIO

Health Care for the Homeless


Challenge

Having outgrown their space, this non-profit needed more space to practice their mission in Baltimore City.  With a challenging site and LEED goals, the design team set out to design space to deliver health care service with dignity to those in greatest need.

Solution

A 57,000 square foot building earned LEED GOLD for a building that is a joy to give and receive good medicine.  Designing a new building with atypical interior finish changed the experience in this health care services building.  Cobalt blue ceiling structure, sustainable flooring materials, taking in as much natural daylight as possible and LEED MEP performance – this building earned the 2009 Award for New Construction from the USGBC Maryland Chapter.  Carol Currotto was on the Kann Partners design team for this project and now continues to support HCH as they grow their services to serve the community.
