The economic unpredictability the world over, has resulted in us witnessing a certain paradigm shift in all sectors. Healthcare is no exception. Constant shifts in how healthcare is delivered, designed and executed, along with increased accountability for health outcomes seems to be the new norm.

 

As design professionals, we at W-ARD FOUR do not necessarily look at this as a challenge, but as an opportunity. Our response to these shifts demands an almost evolutionary process, and evolution implies that we have to improve; be leaner, meaner, faster and more result oriented.

 

THE PHILOSOPHY that drives us...

As a team, we believe in the concept of “keeping it simple”. The first question we like to ask ourselves is “what is the least we can build?”.

 

We are therefore passionate about engaging in an exploratory process along with all stakeholders that leads to a set of guidelines based on a critical evaluation of all criteria. We enhance this by breaking the design problem into the sum of its parts; each of which is evaluated for maximum efficiency. Critical thinking and a reductionist approach during the design process become major drivers that then lead to healthcare that is accessible, scalable, affordable yet iconic and memorable.

 

This desire to engage in a critical exploratory process that leads to meaningful & profitable healthcare environments for all stakeholders is what W-ARD FOUR was born out of.
