Wake Med Women's Clinic Courtyard
creating places for healing and enriched living

The expertise of Lappas + Havener, PA in the development of multiple-building campuses and the design of human-scaled amenities comes together in the planning and design of healthcare facilities, senior living and retirement communities. At the core of our work is the belief that the designed landscape and pleasant built environments have a positive effect on human well being.

Our designs at hospitals and medical centers incorporate elements that humanize the healthcare environment, to create an inviting, friendly atmosphere where patients and their families feel at ease through clear wayfinding, accessible and comfortable spaces. Designs for healing gardens provide opportunities to incorporate rehabilitation and therapeutic value into the landscape.

Fundamental to our design work at Continuing Care Retirement Communities is a commitment to meet the range of requirements and special needs of elderly populations. Through a range of housing types suited for varying levels of independent living and nursing care, and a variety of landscapes and recreational spaces, our designs encourage social interaction, stimulate participation and provide a feeling of comfort and security within the community.
