The hospital is a building where function, medical protocols, and numerous installations take precedence. Due to the specificity of the task and the desire to create the project at the highest level, we decided to develop the concept collaboratively with the users. We engaged in discussions about the project task and various options with the management, department heads, doctors, and nurses through numerous meetings.
Special attention was given to separating the communication routes for staff and patients, each having their entrances, corridors, staircases, and elevators. We also empathized with the patients, who come to such a building seeking help, and the space must be straightforward, readable, logical, easily memorable, but also not visually sterile to avoid further depression. The architectural gesture of external design in the form of vertical aluminum louvers serves a dual function, providing sun protection and serving as decorative elements.
