The Kaiser Permanente Special Medical Office Building (SMOB) landscape scope consists of two spaces enclosed within the building. The first courtyard space at 2,700 square feet is located on the first level, visually and physically connecting both the SMOB and other hospital buildings. The courtyard, having access from the north and south doors, is open to all who happen into the facility: the public, members, visitors, and hospital staff. Thus, this space is designed to be multifunctional and aesthetically stimulating, offering a variety of seating rooms within a predominantly lush planted garden environment that are connected by a sinuous path. The design of the landscape established a visual vocabulary of landscape elements that set a precedent for lush seasonal and thriving natural systems integrated into the healthcare environment, emphasized in both outdoor and interior environments.
