New Healthcare Centre in Cosne-sur-Loire
Located at the entrance to the city, offering a modernized image the new Health Center will embody the renewal of local medicine and the dynamism of Cosne-sur-Loire. The New Hospital is accessible via a forecourt serving its central body, its entrance, forming a stable center of gravity that brings together the distribution spaces on all levels. Its two accommodation wings, perpendicular to the neighbouring freeway, limit the exposure of its rooms to noise and promote attractive views. On a human scale, the new Health Center brings together an Emergency Department, an Imaging Department, a Consultation and Day Hospitalization Department, as well as 90 conventional hospitalization beds divided into three units: a 30-bed multi-purpose Medicine Unit, a 30-bed Long-Term Care Unit (USLD), and a 30-bed Continuing Care and Rehabilitation Unit (SSR). If the project is simple, it asserts a right efficiency adapted and preserves qualities of space for the places of accommodation and the shared places. Its sober contemporary image is adapted to the status of this public facility. The planted exterior spaces contribute to the qualitative views and become spaces for use. The materials used and the composition of the facades are simple and durable.
