Newsletter: 2011 | Q1 A Breath of Fresh Air St Teresa’s Hospital was founded by the Congregation of the Sisters of St. Paul de Chartres with the mission to provide a competent, high-quality health care service to the sick and needy of Hong Kong through the Christian Spirit of Faith, Hope and Love. As a result of continued expansion, it became evident by 2009 that the hospital’s 7th floor VIP Wards were in need of a fresher look. At that time, St Teresa’s turned to Richards Basmajian to redesign this facility, as well as their 1st floor Health Check Up Centre. The brief called for the complete refurbishment of 19 VIP Rooms, a Deluxe Suite and a Premier Suite; the latter two feature attached guest rooms for visiting family members and the ability to combine either suite with an adjacent VIP Room via connecting doors. Each suite and guest room also has its own bathroom.

Detail of Room Signage Five of the 19 VIP Rooms can accommodate two patients, in separate zones, each of which is provided with its own bed-head trunking. In addition to Nurses’ Stations, Pantries and Linen Store, there is a doctor’s office, nurse’s office, staff and interview rooms, a semienclosed lounge and Day Room with vertical green walls and views to the city beyond. Major materials are, of course, hospital-specific: predominantly vinyl floor and wall coverings; sheet and solid core laminate for cabinetry in patient and clinical areas; and stone, glass, stainless steel and timber in the public spaces.
