Our Lady of Sorrows Hospital
Health · by GBGV Architects · 2005
La Laguna, Spain
The complex is organized into five buildings housing three long-term care units with 99 beds, a day center with 20 places, and the necessary support areas. The buildings' serpentine form adapts to the site's challenges, including a highway to the east and a small hill to the west, while simultaneously defining a series of landscaped interior courtyards designed to mitigate and control the strong northerly winds.
The formal option of the arrangement deliberately avoids an orthogonal geometry, considering that it would adapt poorly to the topography and would generate very static and rigid spaces.
