Centre Hospitalier Nord-Deux-Sèvres, Faye l'Abbesse
The new Nord Deux-Sèvres Hospital takes place in an agricultural site in the middle of the bocage Poitevin. Compact, designed on a square grip, the project is seen as the superposition of horizontal functional nappe. It consists , from bottom to top, of :
– A mineral base with gabions on the south facade : in the slope of the terrain, it hosts the logistics and opens onto the courtyard;
– A horizontal incision on the facade, underlined by a colonnade , and a large terrace belvedere accessible to patients. This is the level of the lobby, relaxation areas and outpatient areas: consultations, imaging and emergencies;
– Two top levels which form a homogeneous mineral mass, as an ondulating skyline. Dressed in clay brick, the volume is pierced with large “windows” that modify the scale of perception.
