Great Idea for Patient Furniture

Not that I am anywhere close to this point but I just came across this product. It creates a more homelike and flexible hospital environment that promotes well-being. It provides flexible spaces for the family to visit or stay over. I think it would a great place to start when I start looking at how to integrate the medical aspects into the patient's cabins.

I like the furniture you have found. I have noticed a range of the home/institutional fell within their product line. For my thesis, the key is to satisfy the regulatory requirements in the most home like setting. I wouldn't think this facility would have similar requirements. Would they?
Are you going to shoot for a comfortable, non-institutional feel in your facility?

Most people say they would rather die in the comfort of their own homes. I would like to provide a home like environment for the patients and their families. I want it to be a place that is more comfortable than a hotel, not sterile like a hospital and yet provides the amenities of both. So, in short, yes, I am shooting for a comfortable non-institutional feel.
