Creating Calm: The Tranquillity Room at Peamount Healthcare
In 2024, Peamount Healthcare partnered with Reddy Architecture + Urbanism and key suppliers to create the Tranquillity Room—a calming space designed to support the well-being of patients and staff. This pro bono project transformed a functional area into a retreat for relaxation and recovery, showcasing how thoughtful design can enhance healthcare environments.
Peamount Healthcare’s Holistic Approach
Peamount Healthcare, based in Newcastle, Co. Dublin, is a provider of rehabilitation and residential care services. It supports older persons, individuals with respiratory conditions, and those requiring long-term residential care for intellectual or neurological disabilities. Outpatient services, including radiology, blood testing, and respiratory clinics, further extend their reach to the community.
The Tranquillity Room reflects Peamount’s focus on holistic care, providing a dedicated space for mental and physical recovery in a calming environment.
Reddy Architecture + Urbanism’s Role
Reddy Architecture + Urbanism, with over 30 years of experience, contributed their design and construction expertise to the project. The firm, with offices in the UK and Ireland, specializes in architecture, urban design, and interior design across a variety of sectors, including healthcare.
The Tranquillity Room demonstrates the firm’s dedication to creating spaces that enhance users’ lives. Reddy emphasized their commitment to quality throughout the process:
“We care as much about the process of construction as the design itself, providing a seamless end-to-end service.”
Their involvement ensured that the project adhered to Irish regulatory standards while maintaining a high-quality, elegant finish.
Egger’s Contribution
Egger, a global manufacturer of wood-based materials, played a key role in the project by supplying H1223 ST19 Sevilla Ash. This material, chosen for its muted tones and realistic woodgrain, created a soothing atmosphere in the Tranquillity Room while meeting sustainability goals.
The design team commented on the selection:
“The muted colours of Sevilla Ash were selected to provide a relaxing and inviting space, and the products provided meet all the technical requirements of Irish regulation while providing a high-end look and feel. Furthermore, the sustainability credentials of the Egger products are key in delivering a sustainable project.”
Egger’s product range includes innovative options like the Decorative Collection 24+ with over 230 decors, and the Feelwood range, which replicates the authenticity of real woodgrain. Their offerings combined aesthetics, functionality, and environmental sustainability—essential qualities for this healthcare setting.
A Successful Collaboration
The Tranquillity Room is the result of a collaborative effort between Peamount Healthcare, Reddy Architecture + Urbanism, Egger, and a network of suppliers and builders. This thoughtfully designed space will provide a place of rest and rejuvenation for those who use it, making a meaningful contribution to the healthcare environment.
Congratulations to all involved in bringing this project to life. The Tranquillity Room serves as an example of how design can positively impact healthcare, blending practical needs with a focus on comfort and care.
