OWH has established the reputation of specialist in healthcare facility planning and design. We undertake the planning and design process with the understanding that competition is forcing healthcare providers to differentiate their services to create facilities that will attract and retain new patients. Our success is based on a participatory process that is intended to maximize our clients' opportunities for input and review, and our ability to articulate their goals into realistic solutions.

The planning and design of state-of-the-art research facilities presents unique challenges and opportunities to improve the work and well being of their users. OWH has worked consistently to develop a new concept and approach to laboratory design issues. Our approach begins from a functional basis, and develops to encompass the psychological and emotional needs of the user. The ambient qualities of space are often those that measure the difference between an adequate work environment and a stimulating place to achieve goals and aspirations.

OWH has a solid, successful record of performance on a wide range of programming, space planning, and interior architecture projects. Our project experience includes regional headquarters, executive suites, open plan office facilities, libraries, computer and technical facilities. Through our planning services, we have assisted corporations to identify their future physical space needs and budget requirements, as suggested by their anticipated growth patterns. During the design process, we work closely with our corporate clients to create an aesthetic that reflects their image and culture, yet consistently meets their expectations for functionality and budget.
