Areas of focus
Long-term development Designing buildings that works over time and can withstand wear and earthquakes. CHALLENGE:
Buildings that can adapt both to future development and have low maintenance. OU R APPROACH:

Grid and modular buildings Faรงades have a repetitive structure of bearing pillars each 1.8 m. Sizes of all corridors, rooms and atriums are based on measures multiple of 0.6 m. This modular structure enables repetition and standardisation of building elements, which simplifies the building construction and also the reuse of elements and materials during future refurbishments. Most rooms are designed with a general size (3.6 x 3.6 m) that enables different functions, such as patient

room, consultation room, treatment room or administration. Patient rooms are generally planned as two-bed rooms but can in the future be changed to one-bed rooms. Floor to floor height is generally kept to 4.0 m to enable future installation of technical equipment in the ceiling. The intensive block is designed as a one-story building to open the opportunity to technical rooms on the roof in the future.
