The central patio offers several advantages such as natural lighting
for the whole building. It also serves as an open extension of the
waiting rooms and acts as an intimate and sensory place where
medicinal plants are grown, a reminder of the health and curative
purpose of the Centre.
The timbered facade is framed to resemble a forest. It reflects
our desire to provide the town with an environmentally-friendly
building. Wood is massively used (structure, facade cladding), for
its sustainable attribute and its capacity to capture CO2. The outer
layer of the building will ensure the control of the ambient climate
inside the building for the well-being of the patients.
Rising above the timbered facade, four-sided roofs crown the
building and are at a scale in keeping with that of the nearby
existing buildings. They cover the medical centre and ensure the
natural lighting and ventilation of the different areas.
