Interior Design

The Northeast Veterans Trauma Rehabilitation Center is above all a soothing space designed to create an environment in which veterans can heal after going through incredibly traumatic experiences. Softly curving walls, interior greenery, and an abundance of natural light all add to the sense of tranquility and health that permeates the interiors. The colors used in the space, all selected to be perceived as soothing and bright, reinforce this atmosphere.
