Conceived space speaks to how building design embodies a philosophical position. In the case of hospice, a homelike environment provides a place of prospect – that is, an extensive view – and refuge. Within the design are places where individuals can sit or lie and enjoy views out onto the world (e.g., gardens, sky, community) while also having private spaces of refuge whereby one can experience hiddenness, quiet, and shelter. This is accomplished through careful attention to things such as window and furniture placement. Finally, lived space addresses the delicate balance between privacy and community so necessary to hospice. Good design allows patients and families to control their desired level of privacy or community at any given time. Spatial mapping is used to illustrate how levels of privacy and community change as one moves from the outside to the inside of the hospice.
