Make-A-Wish: Bedroom Renovation and Redesign
In our own small way, we strive to make the world a better place through design. Whether we are creating a tranquil space for a newborn baby or supporting a scientist’s research to cure an illness, our core values speak to improving the world. BAM has frequently donated to the Make-A-Wish Foundation as part of our commitment to positive change. We are glad to support Make-A-Wish in its mission of “creating life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses.”
BAMMER Anna Laura has been a long-term volunteer with the Make-A-Wish foundation to interview Wish Kids about what their wish might be. During one of these recent interviews, the child and family requested a room renovation for a bedroom to accommodate the child’s specific needs, including medical supplies, a hospital bed, and finishes for easy cleaning to maintain a sterile environment. As BAM has designed a variety of healthcare environments, including pediatric spaces, Anna Laura introduced this design opportunity to BAM to grant this child’s wish.
Anna Laura has been working with other BAM team members to realize this child’s wish of a bedroom with a “dream cloud” theme. The room is designed for two little girls with room for a nurse’s chair, ample storage, and a custom closet to house medical equipment and supplies. With bright colors, the sky-blue walls will feature cloud decals, and the rest of the room will feature pink accents and playful furniture.
Together, BAM and Make-A-Wish are making this wish come true! BAM is proud to support our team in using their design talents and healthcare design knowledge to create an inspirational space for this Wish Kid. Wonderful work, team!
