This project started with the breakthrough of creating a ‘Healing Resort’, interweaving between resort and medical spaces: the main building of 16 floors, U-shaped is designed in the form of stepping to create spacious and green verandas, that provide a certain degree of privacy, but people can still look far out. Therefore even at higher levels, people can still interact with nature. The ground floor is a harmony of outdoor landscape and interior. The outdoor landscape is divided into three parts: the healing garden, which is created by the courtyard of the 16-story block, and a colorful bridge. Patients, doctors, and even visitors can use this garden for mentally healing, relaxation, and self-reflection. The patients and doctors can use it most of the time without fear of the direct sun. Secondly, the spiritual garden area, where to worship the Medicine Buddha, and outdoor meditating space. Here people not only have a space for tranquility but to escape from chaotic lives. Thirdly, the orchard garden where large outdoor events are held here, in addition, this is also a space for patients, doctors, and visitors to have a different experience with nature.
Patients therefore will no longer feel stress during treatment, and no longer think of “being forced to cure” but will think of ‘under nice treatment’. For the medical team, this will be a great working environment, with no more feelings of pressure, errors in diagnosis, and medical prescription.
Reality proved since the Hospital has been put into operation. The architectural form has created a deep impression on those who have first seen the building from afar. The building has been associated with many different names but not a hospital. They only know this is a hospital when they see the name of the building and experience the service here. Thanks to that, the project is always remembered deeply in everyone’s mind, especially once people have realized it is a hospital. The second breakthrough is when the project has become inspiration for singers to shoot their videos, for film directors to shoot their movies, and especially, pride of those who work here day and night. The staff said that they have been working here for months but still have many corners to take selfies from. Pregnant women said that it was like a park. They loved the joy of living with the colorful bridge at the center, and with hundreds of other colorful flowers and truly were happy to give birth here. The interior is designed with the feeling of a resort that welcomes people to use the service, making the patients feel like they are on vacation. In addition, visitors are always happy and welcomed without fear of infection.
