The project is designed to create a hospital as a precise healing instrument that is inviting, soothing, optimistic, and harmonious with its context.  It is an instrument that heals the body and heightens the spirit of its users.  Humanistic considerations are integral to the creation of a healing environment.

The design translates advanced western healthcare design to integrate local practices, engaging the local context and heritage to create relevant meanings.   Sustainable design elements aim to optimize building performance as well as to further the mission of this outreaching facility.

The clear and logical organization of the site optimizes way-finding and site efficiency, while maximizing future flexibility.  The interior promenade, or “eco-atrium”, is a key organizational device that performs sustainable building functions and serves as the heart of this communal facility.
