Ups and downs
Challenged by a tight site for the new
Taksim Hospital, one design team came
up with a plan to top below-ground
floors with a compact, high-rise tower
By Jennifer Kovacs Silvis

Another way the design takes advantage
of the stacked tower is by creating multistory
sky gardens that maximize natural daylighting
inside while providing access to nature outside.
The facility is scheduled to open in February
2015. HCD

RENDERINGS BY FORUM STUDIO

Recognizing a need for services immediately accessible to the urban Istanbul, Turkey, community,
Acibadem Hospitals Group decided to build a new
facility adjacent to city hub Taksim Square. However,
choosing this locale also meant the design team, led by
Forum Studio's Erik Andersen, would be challenged by
the tight footprint of a 35,000-square-foot brownfield
site. They'd need to look up-and down-instead of
out.
The design solution for the 200,000-square-foot,
100-bed Taksim Hospital takes advantage of the
site's steep topography and opportunities for belowgrade construction, with three stories of parking and
mechanical spaces; two stories of diagnostic and treatment spaces; and one story of lobby, public amenities,
and support services built underground. A compact,
vertically stacked nine-story tower will be constructed
above and house outpatient clinics and inpatient units.
