"When our children become ill, the whole family is affected,? said Kim Herforth Nielsen, Creative Director and Founder of 3XN. ?We have therefore aimed to create an environment where the family can stay close to the patient and have a life as close to what they are used to. We have worked a lot with the healing qualities of architecture, considering factors from airflow to daylight while creating opportunities for play and creativity."
