To find a significant atmosphere for every hospital’s users was the main design goal; to take part in the patient recovery process making spaces in contact with Nature, the Life, trying to generate hope and affection for it, spaces which support and play a role in the care process or pain acceptation.

A triangular liquid patio limited by three entities oriented according to their functions and relations, shapes and organizes the hospital life. The building is erected in a natively wooden area. The triangle’s edges symbolize the Attention, the Knowledge and the Death.
