The Agatharied District Hospital is designed and realized as a “small city.” The extensive project, comprising 400 somatic beds and 108 psychiatric beds, is organized into a total of seven pavilions: a central treatment building, four pavilion-style ward buildings, and the psychiatric unit.
Das The architectural concept adopts the design elements of the ward buildings and reinterprets them individually for each structure. The hospital is accessed via a two-story hall that extends along the entire length of the building, forming its backbone. From here, the areas for examination and treatment branch off, as well as – via connecting structures – the ward buildings and the psychiatric unit.
The spatial layout is consistently designed with the aim of keeping distances between nursing staff and patients as short as possible. At the same time, all circulation areas are naturally lit, creating a high spatial quality for movement, stay, and the recovery process.
