Honeybee Hospice

Children in the hospice have clear needs for social and group belonging, nature, and personal values, which are actually very similar to the behavioral patterns of bees. Therefore, this hospice care center uses the little bee as a cartoon image, hoping to encourage move-in children to spend their short and splendid time like lively little bees.

Our design is a place of final goodbye for the families, and of final destination for children patients. Even though the ending is inevitable and not a desire, one still can also embrace the beauty of life.
