The health building is designed as a private medical center with
50 licensed beds on a corner parcel allocated to health service
in the implementation plan determining the side, front and back
yard setbacks and the maximum height.
The design approach is based on the idea to generate a simple
and intelligent functional layout in its spatial organization and to establish such
an identity in its building mass and spatial perception that addresses to embodiment
of those concepts which are synonymous to the clean, safe, still and
refreshing aspects of health facilities.
The linear layout of the plan is extended upwards the four floors of the building.
On the ground floor, there take place the emergency rooms, the clinics and
medical inspection rooms as well as the cafeteria and administrational facility
areas like the information and registration desks. The surgery room and intensive
care unit with its technical facility areas are located on the basement floor.
The two upper floors above the ground floor are organized as patient rooms
and study rooms for the doctors.
As a spatial mass that both connects and separates the patient rooms, diagnosis
and treatment units from the outdoor spaces, the entrance space is designed
as a vast void, an outdoor-serving interior space. Continuation of the
façade materials along this void further emphasizes the outdoor characteristics
of the entrance. The void spaces opening to the entrance area on patient room
floors are decorated with transparent boards of different colours, creating an
intended dynamic effect via varying reflections of daylight.
