Reconstruction with limited space
As part of the restructuring of the Stuttgart Hospital, a new dedicated building has been created. Located at the southwest corner of the hospital grounds, it replaces an old building and harmonises the previously fragmented development. The planning and implementation of the project were particularly challenging, as the limited spatial conditions required optimal space utilisation. Regardless, the building was developed to integrate perfectly into its surroundings.
Modern hospital design with emphasis on simplicity
The facade of the new building communicates simplicity in design, clear lines, and timeless elegance among the existing structures. The basement is clad in ceramic tiles that are adapted to the surroundings with both colour and material in mind. The upper floors are rendered in a light shade and feature irregularly arranged aperture windows. Large curtain wall glazing makes a statement and highlights special functions. The interplay of window fronts and glazing maximises natural light conditions and creates a comfortable indoor atmosphere. A metal louver facade emphasises the top floor, adding to the overall harmony.
Developed to meet the demands of specialised treatment
The new building was developed in response to the growing demand for specialised treatments and aims to ensure integrated care, where outpatient and inpatient treatments go hand in hand. The interiors were designed to avoid the typical hospital atmosphere. Vertical circulation is facilitated through two stair cores with double elevators, with the main patient flows directed through the southern elevators. An underground logistics tunnel connects the building with the central hospital area.
