Specialist Psychogeriatric Hospital in Zamo??

The guiding theme of the project is a facility for elderly people with mental disorders. The project focuses on providing a homely hospital atmosphere that is conducive to patient treatment. In both the clinical and public areas, great attention was paid to the hospital's landscape - interior courtyards and many therapeutic spaces were designed.

The urban planning part of the project presents a hospital complex with a pavilion structure. The individual buildings are located symmetrically, along the main compositional axis running through the center of the site. As for the hospital buildings - 12 pavilions are proposed and each is assigned a specific function, while the hospital complex is divided into a busier area and a quieter, clinical area. To the north, the composition is enclosed by a therapeutic park. The southern part of the site development is the technical area. Servicing is planned to provide efficient service around the site - without vehicles entering the zone of the clinical part. \nThe inpatient ward opens with a winter garden, which gradually transforms into a clinical ward. This section is designed with 6 pavilions with specializations in the treatment of depression, dementia, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. In addition, disease units are divided into basic and advanced stages to increase the effectiveness of treatment. Each pavilion is enriched with a therapeutic garden, which is directly adjacent to the unit. The last element of the restricted part of the hospital is a pavilion with a chapel. This object is an urban dominant and with its front facing the view opening of the therapeutic park. \nThe detailed architectural design includes 2 clinical pavilions: 'G' (for the treatment of dementia in the basic and advanced stages) and 'I' (for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease in the advanced stage). Directly adjacent to each unit are wood and stone terraces that allow natural, unforced enjoyment of the surrounding gardens. The gardens are designed with the guiding color of the plantings, allowing clear identification and personalization of the pavilion's surroundings. The architecture of the pavilions is warm and human-friendly. The single-story units are designed in solid wood construction, using CLT technology. The goal was to create buildings that convey the feeling of home, and the form of the hospital is deinstitutionalized.
