This second year project was an addition to the Connecticut Hospice in North Branford, CT.  The goal was to design a space for families to go with their terminally-ill loved ones, away from the Hospice proper.  There are spaces for eating, reading, relaxation, private work space for the family members, as well as an outdoor seating area.  The concept for the building was a beach cottage, or that "home-away-from-home." My goal was for the terminally-ill patients to be able to feel at home when their loved ones come to visit, while still being able to receive the care they need.
