The Children’s Hospital Freiburg, designed by Health Team Vienna – Albert Wimmer ZT and Architects Collective – blends medical excellence with patient-centered healing architecture, forming a compassionate and holistic healthcare model. The hospital stands as a visible symbol of exemplary healthcare design.
Thoughtfully planned, the hospital fosters a healing, stress-reducing environment that supports recovery and overall well-being. An evidence-based design approach integrates healing architecture, color concepts, natural materials, and therapeutic art to create a welcoming and supportive atmosphere. The layout ensures intuitive navigation and comfort for patients, families, and staff alike.
Surrounded by greenery and terraces, the hospital strengthens the connection to nature. Sustainability was central to the design, incorporating green roofs and an innovative cold storage tank system to optimize climate control, energy efficiency, and long-term environmental responsibility.
