Troth Hospital (Stage 2)

Project Summary

The second stage of this project is an extension of the first stage. The design language and the approach that we had for the first one is extended into this stage but with additional requirements. The client had various additional rooms that were needed and that made us take up spaces that were previously given as open spaces.

Once again, the materials used are similar to our first proposal but different locations were chosen for using exposed bricks and different locations were chosen for the regular bricks and concrete mix. This was done specifically so the spaces chosen will have naturally cooler temperature whereas the other rooms will have artificial cooling as the hospital requires.

One interesting feature we retained in both the options is the creation of bridges (open walkways). The purpose for creating such spaces is because once a patient is transferred to the rooms, a lot of doctors advise walking as it benefits the health. Most patients are made to walk in the corridors. We believe that having them walk on open space bridges, overlooking nature and being exposed to sunlight will give the patient a better chance to recover soon.

We can't wait to get past the current stages and to be able to bring this project live to the world.
