overview
Ronald McDonald House Charities of Jacksonville (RMHCJ) sought to revamp their existing children's activity space into a more impactful and exciting experience for guests of the house. After identifying a gap in spaces offered for pre-teens and teenagers, they also enlisted our help to create a sanctuary for older guests. The end result is a design that celebrates joy and vitality, with nods to the vibrant Jacksonville community, giving visitors a greater sense of place and stronger tie to the community.
