Urbain gesture
The volume shifts to align with the neighbouring buildings, creating a setback that opens a generous entrance and brings light and fluidity into the project.
Project heart
A bright central hall organises circulation, reception, and waiting areas on every level. Patients maintain a constant visual connection with the reception area below, while the space transforms throughout the day with the changing qualities of natural light.
Light and mateirality
The project combines preservation and extension, integrating the existing building between new contemporary wings while respecting the scale of the street.
