Whitney recently completed the planning and design of the Raby Institute for Integrative Medicine’s new holistic medical office in Chicago, encompassing 14,000 RSF.
Rooted in the Institute’s approach to integrative care, the new environment balances the functional requirements of a medical practice with a calm, hospitality-inspired experience focused on patient comfort and well-being.
The completed space includes a welcoming reception and waiting area, private treatment rooms, and an on-site Apothecary, all connected through a palette of natural materials, soft lighting, and serene finishes.
The Institute’s personal art collection was carefully integrated into the new environment, with display locations coordinated as part of the overall design.
A New Home for Custom Fixtures
A distinctive sculptural dragon light fixture was also relocated from the previous office and reinstalled as an artful focal point that carries a familiar piece of the Institute’s history into its new home.
The result is a highly personalized healthcare environment that reflects the Raby Institute’s unique identity while supporting the practical needs of an integrative medical practice.
The project demonstrates Whitney’s ability to balance wellness-focused design, clinical functionality, and the thoughtful integration of meaningful existing elements to create a space that feels both restorative and distinctly its own.
