About Almana Krankenhaus
Die sanften Kurven des Gebäudes ermöglichen den natürlichen Fluss von Raum, Luft und Licht. Das Design vereint fortschrittliche Systeme für Beleuchtung, Tageslichtnutzung, HVAC und Wasseraufbereitung, die deutlich weniger Energie verbrauchen und gleichzeitig die aktuellen Gesundheitsstandards erfüllen oder übertreffen, mit dem Ziel einer Energieeinsparung von mindestens 50 Prozent im Vergleich zu ähnlichen Einrichtungen. Die wellenförmige Landschaftsform und Gebäudehülle schaffen eine hervorragende heilende Verbindung zur Natur, innen wie außen, nicht nur aus der Perspektive von Patienten, Personal und Besuchern, sondern auch aus Nachhaltigkeitssicht.

- Production Technology
- The design was based on natural light and natural materials. High performance glazing system was chosen for elevations and skylight to get the most healthy use of daylight. ACP Panels was chosen for exterior cladding.
- Design Challenge
- The real challenge was how to adapt the design to create a healing environment that in turn reduces patients' anxiety and stress, speeds recovery, shortens hospitalization, reduces medication use, reduces pain, and promotes well-being. At the organizational level, healing environments can help enhance employee recruitment, satisfaction, productivity, and retention.
- Research
- Flexible and adaptable
clear functional zoning, segregate internal user and logistic flows, size rooms for flexible usage, staff and patient entrances.
Operationally efficient
lean design, modular arrangements, design repetition, smaller facilities, cost effective aiming for, streamlined service, faster response times, improved outcomes, improved patient turnover.
Safety by design
nothing touches the floor, integrated, touch technology, surface minimization, seamless wall finish systems ,ease to clean surfaces, disinfection.
Patient centric healing environment
large open space concourses, natural light and space lifts the mood, flexibility for peak capacity. - Inspiration
- The gentle curves of the building allowing for the natural flow of space, air and light. The design combines advanced practices for lighting, day-lighting, and water treatment systems that use significantly less energy while performing at or above current health standards, with a target of at least 50 percent energy reduction compared to similar facilities.
The undulating landscape form and building envelope provide a great healing connection to nature, inside and out, not only from patient, staff and visitor aspects, but from a sustainability aspect. The design creates a clear separation of zones of activities, with departments and functions located based on access point proximity, flow and way-finding. All patient rooms and staff spaces provide access to outside views and landscaped terraces.
The design melded spaces and forms into continuous, dynamic constructions. Moreover, it furthered the approach by weaving curved walkways and vertical elevators together so that the architecture itself guides visitors through the related departments - Project Duration
