How custom design tells a story of injustice, hardship and resilience. At Tanforan Memorial in San Bruno, CA, our Studio 431 custom division had the honor of crafting the custom seating and memorial elements that honor Japanese Americans who were imprisoned at this former interment camp during World War II. Designed in collaboration with RHAA Landscape Architecture + Planning, each piece reflects a reserved and respectful aesthetic, inviting reflection on this historic injustice.

Great day last Thursday for a topping out ceremony for the new Stanford Medicine Sutter Health Cancer Center. We're so proud of this project as this new cancer center will provide full advanced care for Oakland and East Bay residents who previously had to travel outside their communities for treatment. Always a pleasure to work with a great team in?SmithGroup, BKF Engineers, The Boldt Company #landscapearchitecture?#healthcare?#oakland?#toppingoutceremony

On this Veterans Day, we honor all who served to protect our freedom. RHAA has long supported our country’s veterans through the thoughtful design of nurturing health care facilities. Our projects include VA campuses in Palo Alto, Fresno, Sunnyvale and Martinez. The outdoor spaces we create help restore the body, mind and spirit of patients and visitors. We understand the importance of biophilia in the healing process and integrate these principles in our designs. Biophilic design creates a visual connection to nature, which has been shown to lower blood pressure and heart rate, improve mental engagement, and attentiveness, and positively impact attitude and overall happiness thus helping to decrease the incidence of depression, heart disease, and diabetes. Our designs have included rehab terrain parks, outdoor staff gardens, gardens for patients with behavioral health issues, gardens for oncology patients, as well as outdoor spaces that connect larger campuses through a unified site design. We include informal play areas for visiting children, as well as spaces for art elements and ornamental planting. We also find opportunities to support healthcare staff by enabling them to engage with their outdoor environment. #biophilicdesign #biophilia #healinggardens #veteransday #veteransupport?
