Abstract: This project will create hospice garden design guidelines using Japanese garden and architectural principles and apply them to an actual site for the purpose of creating a restorative hospice garden. To support this research study a literature and precedent review will determine what has been done. The literature review will investigate healthcare design, hospice garden design, principles of restoration, and Japanese garden architectural principles. Then the study will show why a Japanese garden is a preferred garden type and is applicable to a restorative garden. This project will also illustrate what constitutes a restorative landscape, using guidelines from the literature review. A precedent review of existing healthcare gardens will bring to light what criteria creates a restorative Healthcare garden design and what design pitfalls to avoid. From the precedent review and literature view design guidelines for creating restorative hospice gardens will be created. These guidelines will then be applied to an exisiting hospice site to create an informed design solution.
