About Daiichi 병원
다이이치(Daiichi)는 일본 히메지시에 위치한 병원 건축물이다. 지상 7층 규모의 이 건물은 기존의 노후 건물을 대체하며 100병상을 갖추고 있다. 다공성 파사드는 얇은 시트처럼 처리되어 여러 겹으로 반복되는데, 이는 건물에 깊이감을 부여하고 병원 건축에서 흔히 연상되는 육중한 이미지를 부드럽게 완화한다. 겹겹이 쌓인 모서리는 대지의 각진 형상에 대응하며 주 출입구를 표시한다. 흰색 마감은 청결함을 연상시키고 환자에게 안정감을 주기 위해 사용되었다. 금속 보와 기둥으로 이루어진 격자 구조가 건물을 지지하며 엄격한 내진 안전 기준을 충족한다.

- 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.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- 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. - Operation Flow
