Ala Pediatric Hospital Vila do Conde / 100 Planos Arquitectura

The project is built as a counterpart to the usual aspect of the hospitals, with white walls that convey coldness and technicality. The assignment was to build a pediatric wing for a hospital that has existed since the nineteenth century, but with the idea that not seem the typical hospital, and that both children and parents feel at home. A simpler and more emotional space where the blue and white predominate over the entire place.

Otto Bock HealthCare

Gnädinger Architects projected the Otto Bock HealthCare building located in the city of Berlin. Otto Bock HealthCare is a world leader in prosthetics and orthotics, reason why the organic-dynamic design of the six story building is based on the principles of nature. The facade bands have modeled the structure of muscle fibers that encircle the building structure in soft form. The soft appearance, combined with a unique facade media production, is an open, friendly and accessible institution, and thus contributes to the image building of the company.
