This hospital in densely populated Amman,
Jordan, adds to an existing facility for Specialty
Hospital and focuses on advancing
medical tourism and improving human experience
through humane care. Inspired by the
undulating forms of the Jordanian wadi and
containing a very large program, the hospital
is a shining beacon amidst the low-slung
structures of the neighborhood. The major
program components include an underground
garage, a modern and innovative hospital that
advances state-of-the-art medical technology,
and a hotel on the upper levels that serves visiting
friends and families.
The façade uses sweeping lines to create a
sense of organic unity between the building
and its environment. The building's exterior
is clad in local stone at the lower levels and
curtain wall on the upper levels, which gives
the structure a bright and airy feel. Inside,
patients are treated to luxurious and comfortable
accommodations with spacious and
well-appointed rooms that feature panoramic
views of the city and the surrounding mountains.
Every space is designed with ease of access
in mind including the ability to stay near
your loved ones in a hotel atop the hospital.
A significant amount of energy is generated
via solar panels on the roof. Solar energy in
sunny Jordan is a great source of reliable power
and supplements other resiliency features like
an interstitial mechanical floor and underground
utilities protected from the elements.
The design at every step prioritizes patient
comfort, convenience, and safety, while offering
the highest standards of medical care within
a unique cultural experience.
