StreetBond coating and DecoMark markings were used to create playful decorative paving and a labyrinth at BC Women & Children's Hospital in Vancouver.
Horizontal surface markings
BC Women & Children's Hospital provides care for the province's women, children and families. HUB Surface Systems supplied products for the hospital's hardscape design. The decorative paving and labyrinth application adds playful and meditative aspects to the space.
StreetBond coating and DecoMark markings were used on the outdoor spaces off the wards on several floors and on the ground-level plaza.
StreetBond was applied to new acid-etched concrete and the DecoMark icons were applied to both the concrete and the precast concrete tiles. An unusual aspect of the project was that the DecoMark icons were installed to the precast tiles off-site. The tiles were then delivered to the project, lifted to the floors and carefully placed. This allowed for efficient installation and high-quality control.
HUB worked closely with Oren Mizrahi, Associate, BCSLA, CSLA, LEED AP of Connect Landscape Architecture over the course of the design phase through installation. This is what Oren had to say:
“Hub Surface Systems worked closely with us throughout the project providing sound technical direction along the way and the net result was a successful implementation and translation of our design ideas to the ground plane.”
The DecoMark icons represent various female animals native to BC and their young. On the deck of one level, a labyrinth was created in StreetBond coating.
