When designing hospitals, clinics and medical facilities, we place emphasis on functional operation, a pleasant environment for patients and staff, and high demands on hygiene and safety. We believe that a well-designed space can positively influence the healing process, reduce stress and make the work of healthcare professionals more efficient.
We build the architecture of healthcare buildings on three pillars:
- Clear orientation in space
- Daylight
- Acoustic comfort.
We work with high quality, durable materials and design spaces that meet strict legislative requirements, while appearing calm and dignified.
Health facilities as places of trust
Healthcare facilities are not just technical buildings, they are environments where people seek help, security and safety. Architecture has a key role to play in this respect, it can give a reassuring impression, promote trust and contribute to patients’ overall sense of comfort. Open spaces, natural light and clearly legible zoning help to reduce the stress associated with visiting hospitals or surgeries. For healthcare professionals, good orientation and logically designed operations mean more efficient work and fewer mistakes.
Operational logic and efficiency
Every healthcare facility must operate according to strict operational standards. Therefore, we always take into account the separation of clean and unclean pathways, the location of diagnostic centres, inpatient wards and outpatient areas. Architecture is closely intertwined with technology – from HVAC to hygiene standards to modern digital systems. But it is important not to forget the human dimension: even the most modern hospital must be a welcoming place for patients and their families.
Daylight and a health-promoting environment
Natural light plays an important role in healthcare buildings. Lighting affects not only the psyche of patients, but also their biological processes and the overall speed of recovery. We therefore use large windows, atriums or skylights to provide daylight to the interior parts of the building. Equally important is working with acoustics; the right materials can reduce noise, which is often a source of stress in hospitals. The combination of these factors creates an environment that contributes to better treatment outcomes and patient satisfaction.
Materials and sustainability
Healthcare facilities must be durable, easy to maintain and aesthetically pleasing. That’s why we work with materials that meet hygiene standards, but also look welcoming and modern. We use innovative technologies for energy saving, water recycling or intelligent operation management. Sustainability thus becomes an integral part of the design; even medical buildings can be environmentally friendly and highly functional.
Example: eyekido Children’s Eye Centre
An example of our approach is the project Optics eyekidowhere we have created a modern children’s eye centre connected with a glasses shop. In the interior, we combined elements of Japanese Aikido-inspired visuals with the colourful and playful world of children. The aim was to create an environment that is professional, yet welcoming and inspiring. The children are not passive visitors, but active participants in the space, guiding them through the whole process of examination and selection of glasses. The project shows that even smaller healthcare facilities can offer original, functional and human design that enhances patient comfort.
Humanisation of medical spaces
In recent years, there has been more and more talk about the humanisation of healthcare. This means not only providing excellent care, but also creating an environment where patients feel respected and safe. Architecture can support this trend, with open waiting rooms, pleasant colour schemes, quality furniture or the integration of art into interiors. Every detail has its own importance and can contribute to a positive experience for patients and their loved ones.
The future of healthcare facilities
The future of healthcare facilities lies in the integration of modern technology, flexible layouts and an emphasis on healthy environments. Digital diagnostics, telemedicine or robotic operations will require spaces that can quickly adapt to new needs. But at the same time, humanity must not disappear; hospitals and clinics must remain places where human care comes first. Our aim is to design healthcare facilities that combine high technological standards with a human touch and aesthetic quality.
