Commissioned by Joy Collaborative and made possible by the Thielen Foundation, this pediatric sensory room at M Health Fairview was designed to provide young patients with a space to reset, explore, and regulate. Evergreen Creative was brought in as the fabrication partner, tasked with building each of the room’s custom elements to match Joy Collaborative’s vision while ensuring durability, safety, and code compliance within a clinical environment.

We fabricated a wide range of built-in features, including the padded river-step platform, integrated slide, interactive climbing wall, illuminated touch-activated panels, and decorative dimensional cutouts—all tailored to support sensory engagement and movement therapy. The color palette, lighting, and forms were designed to be inviting and nature-inspired, aligning with the therapeutic goals of the room. Every component was crafted to withstand regular use in a pediatric setting, with materials selected for ease of cleaning and long-term resilience. The result is a joyful, functional space that’s already making an impact in the lives of young patients and their families.
