ESPO designed and implemented a Post-CCU ward at Day Hospital in Tehran, creating an approximately 160 m² monitored recovery environment with patient beds, medical infrastructure, nursing station and support areas.
The brief, context, and coordinated thinking behind the work.
The Post-CCU project at Day Hospital in Tehran is a specialized healthcare interior project by ESPO focused on the design and implementation of a step-down cardiac care environment. Based on the approved project imagery, the published area is set as a professional estimate of approximately 160 m², representing the Post-CCU ward itself rather than the broader hospital complex.
The ward is designed for patients who have passed the most critical stage of care and still require monitored recovery in a controlled clinical setting. ESPO’s scope combined architectural and engineering design, interior design, spatial organization and implementation within a coordinated treatment environment.
The project brings together open patient-bed areas, monitored treatment positions, a nursing station, support work areas, integrated storage and built-in clinical furniture. The spatial layout emphasizes staff visibility, patient supervision and clear circulation while maintaining a more ordered and reassuring interior atmosphere.
The approved imagery shows a larger shared ward organized around several patient beds with bedside tables, IV support, medical-service headwalls and partial privacy separation. Glass-sided treatment bays and curtains create clearer patient zones while still allowing visual supervision from staff areas.
One of the strongest visual features of the project is the ceiling design: large illuminated sky panels and rounded suspended forms soften the clinical atmosphere and give the ward a more memorable identity. Light neutral surfaces are paired with green accents, wood-toned finishes and controlled lighting to produce a cleaner and calmer recovery setting.
The project also includes a central nursing and support area with reception-style counters, integrated work surfaces, storage, cabinetry, sinks and direct visual connection to the ward. These elements help organize monitoring, coordination and day-to-day clinical support activities within the same interior language.
A documented construction-stage image is also included alongside the final imagery, showing ESPO’s implementation process from renovation and ceiling works through to the finished healthcare environment.
The interior palette relies on cream and warm neutral backgrounds, green accent lines, wood detailing and integrated lighting. Textured wall surfaces, clean clinical flooring, glass partitions and a compact but visible nursing desk contribute to a professional environment that remains visually lighter than a conventional intensive-care setting.
ESPO’s role covered design development and implementation for a Post-CCU environment that coordinates patient recovery beds, medical infrastructure, staff-support spaces and interior identity within one coherent hospital department.
How the team translated project constraints into a clear and deliverable response.
The project required an open but supervised Post-CCU ward that could accommodate monitored patient beds, medical-service infrastructure, staff visibility, support functions and a calmer interior identity within one coherent treatment environment.
ESPO coordinated architectural and engineering design, interior design and implementation around shared recovery beds, glass-separated treatment areas, a central nursing station, integrated storage, clinical support functions and distinctive sky-lit ceiling elements.
The completed project provides a professional step-down care environment of approximately 160 m² that combines patient recovery areas, visible medical infrastructure and staff-support spaces in a visually more reassuring ward setting.
