Hôpital d’Yverdon-les-Bains

 

Établissements hospitaliers du Nord vaudois  / eHnv

Yverdon-les-Bains, Canton of Vaud, Switzerland

competition – 4th place

2020-2021

The redevelopment of the hospital in Yverdon-les-Bains includes 18.000 m2 transformation and 43.000 m2 of new construction. With more than 200 beds, adult, pediatric and private services, the renewed and extended hospital will serve as a major emergency and surgical center for the canton of Vaud in the french part of Switzerland. Merging the existing building’s structures built in the 1980s to accommodate 21st century hospital spaces posed a real challenge, especially combined with the client’s need to operate the premises throughout the various phases of the development.

Forensikstation in Wil

 

Kanton St.Gallen Baudepartement – Hochbauamt

Wil, Canton of St.Gallen, Switzerland

competition

2019

The new, medium-security facility for the Psychiatrie St.Gallen Nord (PSGN) will be a new addition to the historic hospital campus, providing a secure yet human experience for patients and caregivers alike. The special needs of the patient population inside and around the building had to be harmonized with the surrounding residential zones. Key to the concept was to find an architectural solution that works from the functional and urban point of view at the same time.

competition

2020

Situated next to the new building of Kantonsspital Obwalden, the historic psychiatry pavilion was subject to multiple alterations since its original construction in 1856. The purpose of the reconstruction is to create a new functional layout that separates ambulatory and inpatient flows and redefining the exterior and interior of the building, in a way that reflects its historic values and contemporary needs. Special attention was paid to the park surrounding the pavilion, renewed as a healing garden enabling various therapy activities.

New Surgical Centre of the University Hospital Hradec Králové

 

University Hospital Hradec Králové

Hradec Králové – Czech Republic

competition

2017

Surgery is a well-established discipline in the University Hospital of Hradec Králové. The Bedrna Pavilion set a new design standard when it was opened in 1985. However, medical procedures, technology and the architectural concept of a modern hospital have changed a great deal in the past 30 years. Design of the new Surgery Complex is to represent all the advancements of the past decades to create a new, enhanced, flexible and ultimately healing environment that will serve for decades to come.

Rehabilitation hospital – Hévíz

 

Medical Spa and St. Andrew’s Hospital for Rheumatology

Hévíz, Hungary

competition – Honourable mention

2016

Hévíz is one of the cornerstones of Hungarian spa culture. Its rehabilitation hospital is located right next to the famous thermal lake that is aspiring to become a World Heritage site. The current state of the hospital and the spa buildings cannot live up to the spa’s history and the healing qualities of the lake. The new 340 beds hospital and a comprehensive redevelopment of the whole area will not only renew the outdated buildings but has the potential to give new identity to the entire site as well.
