Klinik Oberwart

The newly built Oberwart Clinic, with its slender, interlocking building structures, offers a light-filled and dynamic environment for the diverse treatment and care tasks of a modern hospital. Main corridors, secondary corridors, and hallways create small, bright distribution, waiting, and communication areas that encourage movement and social interaction, even on dark and rainy days.

Multi-story light, air, and visual connections, along with gently sloping stairwells, unify the building across several floors into a cohesive whole. The outdoor space remains ever-present, even within the building. The central, multi-story main corridor serves as the backbone of the facility, connecting and providing access to all functional units while allowing for the seamless integration of future expansions.

Oak and beech forests, floodplains, and both dry and wet meadows shape the diverse cultural landscape of the Middle Burgenland region. The wooded hills and former floodplain areas of the Pinka River define the immediate surroundings of the Oberwart Clinic. The open-space design incorporates the region’s existing vegetation, creating a seamless transition between the hospital grounds and the surrounding landscape. At the main entrance, dense perennial plantings and clusters of trees provide a welcoming, natural setting beneath the canopy.
