SITE PLAN ELEVATION

Two buildings are facing each other across a parking lot in a 45 meter distance. One
building is a maternity hospital housing 20 beds and the other is a warehouse store.
D•LIM Architects renovated these two buildings, connecting them by a 40 meter long span
bridge.
The existing hospital building becomes a ward and the warehouse building is transformed
to an outpatient building which also houses OR’s and LDR’s on the third floor.
 The bridge connects the third floors of both buildings at a height of 9 meters, leaving the
parking lot below. It is a main artery which adjoins two buildings into one.
 Newborn units are located on the third floor of the ward easily
accessible to both inpatient and LDR units.

delivery. The guardians can take a rest on it, enjoying outside
view.
