features nature-inspired design details throughout. " Connecting to nature
has been proven to be effective in patient healing and well-being in the hospital setting, " says Joe Runco, principal at SWA Group (Sausalito, Calif.), the
landscape architect. " The design of the new hospital ensures that patients
and staff can view and/or access nature both in the spectacular natural setting of the site as well as the carefully situated rooftop garden spaces. "
Beginning on the exterior, the building is clad in glass and metal panels
distinguished by front-facing balconies and a multilevel green roof terrace between its two sides that's accessible to patients and staff and features raised planting beds and seating. Located on all the patient units,
indoor/outdoor solariums are light-filled " living rooms " that are topped
by rounded skylights and connected to the balconies, giving patients and
their families the option to go outside even when tethered to an IV pole,
says Haim. Located next to the solariums, spacious staff lounges are a
sunny contrast to those found in the old buildings, which included small
windows, and likewise offer nurses the opportunity to quickly step outside for a breath of fresh air via the solariums.
In patient rooms, floor-to-ceiling windows bring in natural daylight and
unobstructed views to the surroundings or the gardens and terraces. " Anywhere you look out of a patient room you will not see anything other than
green, " says Haim. To amplify views even more as well as help patients,

Part of the design focus
for the MarinHealth Medical Center Oak Pavilion
was energy savings.
Along with an aluminum
sunshade system on the
façade, three rooftop
gardens contribute to the
building's ability to use
51 percent less energy
than the previous facility.
Green roofs contribute to
energy savings in several
ways, says Joe Runco,
principal at SWA Group
(Sausalito, Calif.), the
project's landscape
architect. First, he says,
the natural greenery
is less reflective and

reduces glare and heat
typically emitted from
conventional roofs. Second, because the roof
is covered with living,
water-transpiring plants,
there's a natural cooling
effect from the transpiration/evaporation of
water from the plants.
Finally, the soil and
plants provide additional
insulation as compared
to conventional roofs.
As a result, Runco says,
" The roof stays at a more
constant temperature
than the often high
fluctuations with other
roofing types. " -JP
