Nouvel Hôpital, Orléans

The NHO is a visible landmark whose unique ellipse shape marks the southern entry point to the urban area and the La Source neighbourhood, in a high-quality landscaped setting. It boasts a compact, interesting and fragmented horizontal architecture which engages with its urban environment.
It is laid out along an East-West axis comprising five major accommodation blocks: medium-stay, consultations, medicine, surgery and maternity, a layout which ensures that hospital specialities are grouped vertically under the same medical and administrative department. This efficient layout is based on four key elements: a remarkable lobby, where visitors go for information and can then disperse; an internal street connecting the blocks, dotted with patios; a single theatre and operating block; and a central, automated basement logistics platform. The first HEQ-certified hospital in France, it deploys innovative, low impact solutions, including in the design of its prefabricated wood-framed façades.
