UHN Toronto Hospital Tunnels
Beautification
Beautification
This charity project shows the beautification of the UHN tunnels of the hospitals of Toronto, Canada. These underground tunnel system connects Mount Sinai Hospital, Toronto General Hospital & Sick Kidz Hospital.
They are used mostly to transport patients.
Stefan Sagmeister asked me to create with him this new visual experience for everybody who is transpassing these tunnels.
Vision
We knew from beginning on that we want to have simple creations
that emphasize the mood when being in the tunnels.
Simple shapes, happy colours and a little storytelling to explore
and experience this space.

Colors
The colours are inspired and taken by the amazing landscapes
Canada has to offer.

Toronto General Hospital = Eye
Mount Sinai Hospital = Bird
Sick Kidz Hospital = Flower, Butterfly & Star

Design
All the graphics are coming from the point of view of communicating nature. We wanted to think of the tunnel system as “fun graphic jungle”.
