About Daiichi Xəstəxana

Daiichi Yaponiyanın Himeji şəhərində yerləşən xəstəxana binasıdır. Yeddimərtəbəli tikili köhnə korpusu əvəz edir və yüz çarpayı tutumuna malikdir. Məsaməli fasad nazik təbəqə kimi işlənərək bir neçə qatda təkrarlanır ki, bu da binaya dərinlik verir və xəstəxana memarlığı ilə tez-tez əlaqələndirilən ağır görüntünü yumşaldır. Qatlı künc sahənin bucaqlı formasına cavab verir və əsas girişi nəzərə çarpdırır. Ağ səthlər təmizlik hissi yaratmaq və xəstələri sakitləşdirmək üçün istifadə olunub. Metal tirlər və sütunlardan ibarət şəbəkə binanı dəstəkləyir və ciddi zəlzələ təhlükəsizliyi qaydalarına cavab verir.

Unique Properties
The new replacement building for Himeji Daiichi Hospital is built next to the late 1960s block that is planned to be demolished after moving to the new building. The idea behind this project is to bring some modernity and lightness to the old institution and to change the heavy monolithic image of hospital buildings. This is done by creating a porous facade that is treated as a sheet and repeated to create the depth of the building.

Gross Built Area: 2239sqm

Production Technology
The 7 stories building is supported by a grid of metallic beams and pillars. Since Japan is prone to earthquakes the building is design with extra safety measure. The facade is covered by cladding panels from KMEW. The interior is built using drywall techniques and was finished with a variety of materials including tiles, vinyl floor, vinyl wall cloth, wooden panels, platina panels, melamine board, and mirrors.
Design Challenge
The challenge of this project is to design and build a fully functional 100 beds hospital that responds to the newest Japanese regulations regarding earthquake and fire safety, using a very limited budget and yet produce a space that tends more towards hospitality rather then medical. Finding the middle ground between small luxury, efficiency, cost effectiveness, limited footprint, and extremely regulated spaces.
Research
The main challenge with this project is to break up with the monolithic block representative of modern hospitals and shift the interior towards a more anxiety free hospitality driven spaces. While aiming to achieve this the design needed to still obey the very strict healthcare functionality of a modern hospital and keep the tight budget under control. The available land area had an irregular shape creating efficiency complications that needed to be overcome.
Inspiration
The design was inspired by its site. the shape of the available land area and its angular position toward the main road inspired the repetition of the main facade in several layers as a corner treatment that would be an eye catcher for the people driving along the road but also for the pedestrians walking by. The white color dominance is inspired by the cleanliness, the hygiene, and its psychological effect on the patients.
Project Duration
Project start: July 2018.
Construction starts: December 2021.
Project/Construction End: March 2023.

Location:
Himeji City, Japan.
