Inspired by a South African word, Singita, which translates to “The Place of Miracles.” This concept resonated with me as I was thinking about what the Ronald McDonald House means to families undergoing challenging times. The Singita wallpaper in the entry set the tone of the design scheme and was the beginning of the creative process in developing a calm retreat for the families staying in the space. The room uses botanical prints and incorporates colors found in gardens to bring in the serenity and beauty of the outdoors. The design’s use of a subtle palette of fabrics and finishes in lavender, peony, greens and aquas comes together to create a feeling of a Spring garden for the families staying in the space. The artwork on the wall of Central Park further echoes the feeling of the outside and was donated by the Ruth Orkin Photo Archive.
