Brightly coloured materials and finishes were chosen to help animate and enliven a space that has no windows or access to daylight or views. The use of innovative materials, such as Altro Whiterock, provides a water-proof and colourful shower enclosure, installed by the drywall trade, thus "deskilling" the work by removing the need for a ceramic tile installer. This design solution helped reduce project costs and aided in a faster completion time. Colour is not only used as an aesthetic choice, but an important tool for intuitive demarcation of floor space. The blue and green zones under patient beds creates an identifiable boundary that defines the extents of the working areas. The larger field of light grey flooring denotes open circulation and allows for the coloured floor zones to be easily discernible.
