The Center for Chemotherapy in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn is located
in an existing building with 4,000 s.f. on the ground floor,
and 2,000 s.f. of support space in a finished basement.
The
main floor centerpiece is the treatment room, with twelve
patient stations arranged in a semi-circle around a large
nurse station. The visual excitement and sense of space in
the area was achieved through the design of the ceiling and
facade.
The
ceiling is sculpted into a series of pyramid shapes made from
standard ceiling tiles and gypsum board components. The entire
facade has been glazed with a translucent glass that allows
daylight, but provides privacy to the patients. Additional
use of clear glass at the clerestory level allows patients
to look up and see the sky, but still protects their privacy.
