- The design-process of the building consisted of a close collaboration between architects, clients and users through a dialogue based process that had a major impact on the final design.
By considering the needs of the users, client and neighbours, Urban Hospice sets a new standard on how you can build innovative healthcare projects in urban contexts.’ says Morten Rask Gre-
gersen partner in NORD Architects Copenhagen. The project was designed at a scale that adapted to the neighbourhood, presenting a combination of spacious views and privacy for the patients.
FLOW DIAGRAM - The overall form and concept were heavily influenced by the complex site con-
ditions and the proximity of the neighbouring built context. Within these param-
eters, the vision was to create a protecting atmosphere that also offers a glimpse
to the outside world. The design derives from combining a curved and rectangu-
lar formal language that allows for an optimal functional layout. The traditional
patient corridor is broken down into smaller units, and, as a special gesture, the
house’s common area is designed in a curved formal expression, built around
a private inner courtyard that works embracingly and protectively. The façade’s
varying composition of quality rich materials gives the house a warm and tactile
look.

- The building’s overall mass is divided into a series of smaller units, which are connected by curving corridors
that optimise the flow of movement and enhance the sense of connection between different areas.
- A combination of curved and rectilinear forms accommodates patient rooms, communal facilities and treat-
ment areas around the perimeter of the building.
