Three Sisters recovery center navigation

Overview   Process  

Task: to help the guests navigate the center without making it feel like a medical facility.

The recovery center’s building has three floors with guest rooms, recreation zones, and treatment areas on each. The new navigation was designed to clearly identify each space purpose.

Floors come with a different atmosphere set with some visual clues and reinforced with quotes from a classic play written by A. Chekhov. Guest rooms are named after actual and fictional locations, all in a spirit of Russian classic literature.

The doors on different floors sport different patterns, door plate typeface for the public rooms is not the same as the one for “staff only” areas

The pattern matches the floor theme and hints which is the way out. Each room has a title marked on its door
