Implantation - filled and empty spaces.


Ground floor.


general premise of developing a project with sustainability criteria, we have implanted the centre within 75 per cent of the lot with no pre-existing trees. The existing trees, in addition to the trees added at the project stage, have been incorporated into the design of facilities with landscape criteria as well as bio- environmental criteria related to thermal and visual control.


Volumetry With the idea of minimizing its environmental footprint and with the aim of integrating it to the environment, the building was developed with a volumetry having no negative impact on the environment. This is given for its height, its materials and its work with the existing flora, as well as for the resolution of its roofs (green and with stones). This is a single-storey construction of approximately 9,319 m2 surface, 698 m2


of covered of semi-covered surface


(distributed among the expansions of hospitalisation rooms, access sectors, parking for staff motorcycles and bicycles and semi-covered area of the gymnasium) and 20,500 m2


of non- covered surface (including 2,446 m2 of


public and staff parking plus general green areas, therapeutic garden and internal expansion and contemplation courtyards).


Although all the construction is on


one floor, they have different heights depending on the spaces. For example, the access hall, the gymnasium area and the therapeutic pool are the volumes of

greater height, as well as a sector of each of the inpatients units that have a higher and more inclined roof, where the engine room for the thermomechanical equipment will be located.


Functional organisation The building is based on a mixed horizontal main circulation, for both patients and staff, and visitors, and another exclusive technical area that links the support premises. This mixed circulation is large and it allows, in sections, one of the sides to be a covered walking track for patients with rest areas in correspondence with courtyards. Functionally, the centre is made up of


seven independent inpatient units (IU) with 20 beds each and 140 beds in total, plus the care areas, support and comfort spaces, both for the patient and staff and for general services. It was proposed to locate the patient within the IU according to the degree of rehabilitation required. Therefore, in the first IUs, patients with


the best prognosis for recovery are placed in IUs 1, 2 and 3 and patients with greater motor and neurological compromise are


placed in IUs 4, 5 and 6, leaving IU 7 exclusively for palliative patients. In addition to the rooms, each IU will have support facilities as per required function – i.e. nursing, warehouses, offices, staff and visitor restrooms – as well as a lounge and dining room, a controlled expansion to the inner courtyard and another semi-covered outside area linked to the therapeutic garden. The seven IUs are organised in a similar


way and are attached to each one to form courtyards. Some are accessible and serve as a controlled expansion (‘Expansion Courtyards’) and others are simply for lighting and good views, which are the ‘Contemplative Courtyards’. These units are complemented with the healthcare spaces intended for the treatment of patients. These include medical offices (speech and hearing therapy, psychology, social assistance, general), and two physical therapy sectors. The first one, which will cater for the IUs 1-3 and is located towards the front of the property, includes a gymnasium, six kinesiology therapy boxes and a therapeutic pool.
