Hospice of North Idaho Community Building
The Hospice of North Idaho Community Building was designed as a welcoming center for support, reflection, and connection within a larger campus vision.
Bringing together counseling, bereavement services, education, and administrative functions, the building creates a calm and purposeful environment that serves both staff and the broader community.
Its two-story layout balances open, collaborative work areas with quieter spaces for learning, counseling, and contemplation. Warm materials, natural light, and carefully shaped views help distinguish the building’s varied uses, creating an atmosphere that feels both uplifting and serene.
The site extends that experience outdoors through a generous plaza, shaded gathering areas, and walking paths that connect the building to the surrounding campus and park space.
