Project Spotlight: Gaston County Family Visitation Center

Office Environments was proud to partner with Gaston County on their new Family Therapeutic Visitation Center—an initiative designed to offer a safe, family-friendly environment where healing can begin. The center supports families through wraparound services including counseling, substance-use treatment, parenting classes, and other critical resources.

Understanding the sensitive nature of family reunification and therapeutic visitation, our design team set out to create a space that feels welcoming, uplifting, and safe. We focused on cheerful colors and child-friendly forms to foster comfort and positivity from the moment families walk in.

Furniture selections were thoughtfully curated to be both durable and playful. Vibrant hues—sunny yellows, soft blues, and energetic greens—were used to evoke warmth and joy. The layout encourages interaction and flexibility, with cozy seating for one-on-one conversations and open areas for group activities. Every piece was selected not only for its functionality and safety but for its ability to support emotional well-being and connection during visits.
