EXTENSION OF HOSPITAL IN MARIÁNSKÉ LÁZNĚ

The building is inspired by purposeful shapes of medical measure instruments, by their accuracy and reliability. The form of the new pavilion is a simple prism which towards the existing building turns into a shape of a connecting corridor. Such a shape is optimal for a compact solution of hospital operation and it also provides for a simple connection with the existing hospital building. All rooms have a nice big window with a view of the neighboring park, its lawn and trees. Soothing views of the greenery we regard as an important moment for a patient’s recovery. Windows of emergency rooms are covered by an external facade layer of perforated sheet so that a certain amount of privacy is ensured when a patient is examined. Social contact plays a significant role in long-term stay in hospital and also when having a visit. On the suspended floors of the connecting corridor there is a cafeteria and a common room. At the stern of the pavilion we designed two decks from which the patients can perceive sounds and scents of the park.
