MODERN TEEN LOUNGE
The team solicited feedback from teens to inform the design of an additional space with a more modern and sophisticated look and feel.
Our goal was for the interior design and architecture to stimulate the imagination and reveal to seriously-ill children the imaginative possibilities of a wish. We can’t say enough about SKOLNICK, but the smiles on the children’s faces, as they explore and experience the imaginative and whimsical setting, are the true testaments to the job SKOLNICK did.
