Nord Deux-Sèvres Hospital Centre, Faye-L’Abbesse
The new Nord Deux-Sèvres Hospital Centre is being built on an agricultural site in the middle of the Poitevin bocage. Compact, designed on a square footprint, the project is perceived as a superimposition of horizontal functional layers. From bottom to top, it comprises a mineral base, clad with gabions on the south facade, which houses the logistics and opens onto the delivery yard. A horizontal break underlined on the façade by a colonnade and a vast belvedere terrace accessible to patients. This is the level of the reception hall, relaxation areas and ambulatory sectors : consultations, imaging and emergency. The two upper levels form a homogeneous mineral mass with an undulating skyline, set on the natural terrain to the north. Clad in terracotta bricks, the volume is pierced by large ‘windows’ that change the scale of perception.
