Organ Donor Clinic

Designing Spaces for Healing and Remembrance

Inspired by the surrounding groves of Aspen trees, this proposal explored architecture as a vessel for healing, remembrance, and renewal. Aspens, connected through a shared root system despite appearing as individual trees, become a living network that mirrors the unseen relationships created through organ donation. This natural framework informed a space designed to celebrate continuity, foster quiet reflection, and offer moments of comfort within a clinical setting.

Working alongside hospital partners and an academic design program, Sarah developed architectural visualizations and environmental renderings for a dedicated organ donor clinic. The proposal translated themes of connection, remembrance, and comfort into a welcoming environment designed to support patients and celebrate the legacy of organ donors.
