Designed by luis vidal + arquitectos in JV with Arup Engineering, D-fine for Bill of Quantities y CSP for Health & Safety.
The Health Service commission is to refurbish and to extend the existing public Hospital into a new Healthcare Complex tripling the sanitary surface and taking advantage of the change to transform the way the staff works, thus achieving a highly efficient hospital. The construction and funding of this project is made through a concession scheme in which health services have public management and non-health services, private management. During the construction phase (current stage), we are conducting a follow-up work, consultation and technical control of the concessionaire to ensure the quality of the Future Hospital.
The design was conceived in order to mimic Ibiza’s local architecture by using a fragmented construction introducing white as the predominant color; thereby, despite being the largest building on the island it is still an integrated part of the surroundings. The building extension doubles the existing surface area, housing all healthcare services, whilst the existing building is refurbished to house supplies and logistics facilities, freeing up a large area for future expansion and/or other uses.
The project restructures patient, family and medical flows, and connections between services, thereby improving the users’ privacy and the connectivity between facilities. It is a modular Hospital which is efficient user-friendly and allows for future growth.
Designed following sustainability guidelines, passive and active measures have been implemented from the initial stages for energy efficiency and to minimize environmental impact, such as the construction of the “hospital garden”, sunlight control or the creation of a cogeneration center.
