A clinic like a hotel – Conceived as part of an extension to a neurological rehabilitation centre, the clinic building fulfils both the high medical demands and standards of comfort, service and atmosphere for its national and international private patients.
Positioned along the building line, the clinic reacts to the topographic conditions with its kinked form and its white ceramic façade. At the same time, it forms the conclusion of the hospital complex. The three-storey clinic synergetically connects with the existent structures and presents itself as an elegant, fluent spatial fabric. A passage leads from the main entrance of the neighbouring facility to the new building, with its bright, inviting lobby.
The building has two sections arranged in a ring formation around the central access core. All administrative, treatment and auxiliary rooms are arranged in the northern section. High-quality furnished patient rooms in the south offer picturesque views of the Alpstein mountains. If required, the 28 rooms can be connected to their neighbouring counterparts to create a luxury double-sized suite. A nanographic visual world depicting neural network connections was developed together with the artist Liliane Eberle. The theme is continued in the relief-like wall cladding in the area of the reception booths in both wards.
