The Challenge

Creating a recovery environment requires a delicate balance—it must meet rigorous healthcare standards while feeling warm, hopeful, and residential rather than institutional. Samba Recovery needed furniture that would withstand the demands of a 24/7 clinical facility while creating dignified, comfortable spaces that support healing and recovery. The 7,000 square foot facility required thoughtful design that fostered both community connection and private reflection, all while maintaining easy-to-clean, durable surfaces essential for healthcare operations.

Collaborating with Naomi Mamiye Interior Design, we created a compassionate healing environment that balances clinical functionality with the warmth and dignity essential to successful recovery programs.
