The project aimed to ensure the building was intuitive in arrangement and holistic in user experience. The focus was on creating a facility that is easy to access, navigate, and is psychologically calming and welcoming inside and out.
The area is characterized by single-family houses with terracotta gabled roofs, which inspired the building's concept. To create a contemporary feel, the ground floor features fluid, curved forms inspired by nature. The use of glass on the ground-floor facade enhances this lightness and promotes a sense of freedom upon entry, improving the user experience, particularly in a healthcare setting.
We aimed for the building to provoke curiosity while highlighting its important role in the local community. It features two contrasting shapes: a curved, transparent ground floor and a rectangular, folded first floor, each differing in shape and material. The lightweight materials of the ground floor enhance its levitation effect, retracted from the first floor for emphasis. The enclosed first floor has a roof that visually extends its shape, inspired by the area's terracotta gabled roofs, symbolically integrating the building into the contemporary landscape.
