Braille Institute San Diego is a $6 million, 28,000-square-foot, co-educational training facility for the blind and visually impaired. The non-profit organization improves students’ self-sufficiency skills while providing a recreational outlet, as well as offering classes on computer skills, Braille, cooking, arts and crafts, and fitness.
Interior designers Ann Cummings and Andrea Brehe of Design InSite chose warm hues for the facility’s overall color scheme, focusing on bright colors to increase the visual stimulation of the occupants. Additionally, the designers added striking contrasts in every room to help students distinguish the floors from the walls.
