The project’s aim was to create a homely place where nature is a recurring theme, and where patients can experience life to its fullest in their last days. At the same time, the design concept seeks to optimise the functional features of the building to improve everyday life for patients, staff and loved ones. Its intuitive layout and connection to nature create a peaceful, supportive atmosphere that feels more like home than an institution. Being close to nature is a simple, immediate experience that resonates with everyone, no matter their age, gender, or beliefs.
The heart of the hospice is at the meeting point of its three wings, serving as the hub for daily activities.
The heart is shielded from the rest of the building, with easy access to the reception, wardrobe, restrooms, and waiting area.
The natural setting flows gently between the building's wings, creating an atmosphere that feels more like home than an institution.
