Ferrer Arquitectos: Health Center

Spanish practice ferrer arquitectos has designed the ‘north mediterranean health center’ in almería, spain. a facade of maneuverable  marble slats introduce a diffused natural daylight as needed to perform activities, reducing the energy consumption of the building. A monolithic block of prefabricated concrete supports the rectilinear volume. as the louvered panels are opened, light emanates from the interior, visually lightening and breaking down the white mass. glass-enclosed courtyards are placed within the internal configuration to introduce daylight and ventilation into the rooms.

On the ground floor is the main entry, reception and administration along with adult and pediatric clinics and minor surgery units. The first level contains health education functions, staff and support services. the double skin allows an optimal lighting conditions for the task at hand.
