Any care building must consider the effect that the surrounding environment has on people, both at the landscape level and through the architecture itself. The building reinforces its public-domestic duality by enhancing the recognition of a public stone base on which rests a light wooden skeleton with the care levels. In this way it was proposed to achieve the materialization of a friendly and respectful building with the place in which it is inserted without undermining the requirements in terms of accessibility, evacuation and energy management.
The layout of the different elements of the functional program sought to prioritize: the relationship between care processes, the criteria of proximity and intimacy, the optimization of routes and the best possible flow between the routes of the different patients and professionals, thus achieving that each area has a recognized autonomy. The relationship of patients with the outside world, the quality of the environments and the best possible specialized care favor the humanization of the care processes that occur in this type of clinic. On the first floor, the most public areas, with an open and direct relationship with the street, and on the more private and remote floors, the care and treatment areas.
In its connection with the existing building, it was understood not only as a mere circulation element, but also as an expansion or stay that occurs when passing from one building to another, avoiding affecting the internal functioning or routes of the original building.
In the exterior spaces of the Berliner Platz we sought to improve its urban feel with a definition of edges and slopes that would promote greater and better accessibility and enjoyment, minimizing its impact.
