Description:
The extension of Kolding Hospital encompasses 32,000 m2 a bed ward, an emergency ward and a new main entrance. Based on a careful analysis of the surrounding landscape, the existing buildings and the infrastructural conditions, the new design relocates the main entrance to the west of the existing hospital. By relocating the main entrance the hospital gets a whole new identity, and the main entrance becomes visible and clear to patients and relatives. At the same time the internal flow of the hospital is maintained and reinforced, while the entire hospital will be perceived as a complete structure where buildings and the nearby surroundings complement each other.
The masterplan emphasises the potential of the landscape of Kolding River Valley by continuing the orthogonal building structure while allowing the nature and greenery to penetrate the buildings. By situating the new bed ward on top of the existing building, full advantage is taken of the beautiful view of the surrounding forest, and we outline the future developments of the hospital.
