Aichi Rehabilitation Hospital
The Hill of Recovery
A hill for recovery where the three floors are connected in a three-dimensional manner
The first floor is planned for outpatient care, rehabilitation, kitchen, and administrative departments; the second floor is for a 60-bed inpatient ward; the third floor is for training rooms, daycare facilities, and a rooftop garden; while incorporating circulation paths on each floor, the design also features three staircases that create a continuous, three-dimensional hill for treatment and recovery.
A plan that fuses "spiral" and "revolving" spaces that evoke a sense of recovery
The "three circulation paths" on the first floor, which connect the hospital street, the exterior landscaping, the second-floor porch terrace and the wards, and the third-floor rooftop garden, set up a spiral-shaped circulation space, aiming to make the entire hospital a place for rehabilitation for recovery.
Orange and Royal Blue have been adopted as the hospital's theme colors.
The walls of the first-floor rehabilitation room are a glass wall with orange “hills” graphics, representing the bustling space of “Open Rehab.” The second-floor wards are divided into themed colors: “Cheerful Orange” and “Refreshing Royal Blue” for each unit.
