DESIGN CONCEPT
The concept of the proposed
specialized health center is to
provide a safe and therapeutic
environment for all patient,
residents of the community and
staffs. The objective was to
recreate a safe environment, in
terms of its scale, design, and
layout. Aside from that, the
strategic plan is focused on
community and inclusion with the
aim of increasing presentation
rates to improve preventative
FRONT ELEVATION health. The environmental
responsibility is also present in
the basic and organic material
choices, proposing a low-tech

architecture. In this way, it will
support high levels of care and a
place that puts wellness at the
center of the community
