01 INTERNATIONAL HEALTH MEDICAL CENTER CLIENT HUICI HEALTHCARE MANAGEMENT (SUZHOU) CO., LTD. ARCHITECT OLI Architecture PLLC. NY, USA ROLE Design, Modeling, Presentation and Documenting on Phase 2 Project overview Suzhou Huici international hospital locates at Suzhou Xiangcheng economic and technological development zone, to the north of Cao Lake. The site connects with Wuxi, Shanghai and Tai Lake by SuzhouShaoxing high way, covering main cities of Chang Jiang Delta. The site is located between Ezhengdang Lake and Cao Lake which has a particularly unique and beautiful environment. To the north of the site is Changyun road, to the west is Nanzhang road and to the south is Fengdangbei road. The hospital site occupies 132,863 sqm, and its construction has been divided into two phases. The first phase has 140,000 sqm, including general international hospital, rehab center, care center, and postpartum center. The general hospital part has nearly 100,000 sqm, which contains top-level medial service, completely hospital departments and advanced medical facilities. The patients will receive all-around medical services including outpatient, emergency, inpatient, physical therapy, chemotherapy, radiotherapy (Proton beam therapy), immunotherapy, DSA surgical service, etc. The hospital can meet 1000 inpatient requirement. 2. Design concept. The architecture design is inspirited by traditional Suzhou garden in order to combine garden landscape and hospital building together, on the other hand, to create comfortable rehabilitation environment based on its own high-quality landscape. Hexagon is the typical element for building form to surrounding landscape. Because of its polyhedral character, it can maximize the utility of landscape and reduce the visual disturbance at the same time. Moreover, hexagon is also one common element in traditional Chinese garden which would add some traditional design senses for the entire project. Through this concept, various functions can be crossed in this form, which guarantees efficiency and creates extended space perception simultaneously. We are making a great effort in creating a hospital in the garden. 3. Function organization The main entrance locates at the east side of the site. It is a vehicle and pedestrian entrance. The secondary entrance is facing to Fengdangbei road to the south. It is a nonmotor vehicle and pedestrian entrance. The first two levels of the main building are podiums, including functions of outpatient, emergency, operation rooms, and medical technology department. Third to seventh floor are inpatients rooms, care center, and rehab center. Outpatient lobby and emergency are on the east side, which is close to the main entrance. The main lobby is a double-height bright space for registration and payment. And the inner courtyards would offer natural and ecologica experience for every single clinic room. Patients can go to the sunken courtyards, surrounded by commercial and restaurants, through outpatient lobby, which brings vibrant atmosphere for entire hospital. Medical technology department adjoins emergency and outpatient that reduce the inpatient circulation. Surgery is located upon emergency in order to guarantee the rescues. Inpatient rooms and re-
hab-care center is in the north and south tower respectively. These two towers are mainly facing to west and east direction which keep opulent sunshine for inpatient rooms in double sides. And inpatient rooms are just on the emergency and surgery department so that it is very convenient for inpatient transportation. To the north of the main hospital building, it is the oncology center containing most advanced cancer therapeutic facility. Its ground part has purely glass façade, and the inside bare concrete space molds quite space to relieve the pressure of inpatients and their families. B1 and B2 part of an oncology center are Proton beam therapy facilities. To the west of the main hospital is the central lake landscape which expresses the idea of Suzhou garden. Trees, birds, brook, paths and villa-style inpatient buildings altogether create a modern Suzhou garden scene. The landscape extends the visual distance and enhances privacy of the inpatient rooms. Postpartum center and apartment-style inpatient room are to the north of the lake which connected with inpatient north tower by glass corridor. And its inpatient rooms are all facing to the south lake landscape. The second phase of the hospital is on the west side of the site with 50,000 sqm. To the north of it is the staff living area. The second phase has the same form and style with the first phase so that the whole hospital is in uniform and harmony. 4. Circulation & Parking Including east main entrance and the south secondary entrance, the site still has two entrance at the north side and one entrance at the west side. All for vehicles and walking people both. The B1 floor is car parking space, part of it the mechanical car parking space. Combined with some on-ground parking space, the entire number of vehicle parking is 1400. The entrance of underground parking is close to main entrance and sperate pedestrian and vehicle system. Non-motor vehicle parking space locates nearby south entrance. Combined with underground part, the entire number of non-motor vehicle parking is 1400 as well. In addition, in order to avoid the disturbance, the circulation of inpatients and doctors, circulation of normal and VIP inpatients and circulation of logistics and people are all separated.
