Park
Full-height glazing along the central space connecting the building's various internal elements ensures an almost seamless continuity between interior and
exterior.
The surrounding nature is visible and tangible throughout the building, allowing the user to revalidate while walking.
Diversity
The double-height ground floor at the entrance level facilitates the program's unique elements such as a sports facility, fitness centre, swimming pool, restaurant, and theatre.
Healthcare
The care concept is based on the idea that a positive and stimulating environment improves patients' well-being and has a positive impact on their
revalidation process.
