INTRODACTION
•LISBOA, PORTUGAL •Area : 62000 m²
•Architects: RISCO •Year : 2019

The project’s approach maintains the

spatial structure of the existing
building by extending the two main
corridors, for the public and services,
which enables new accesses to be
connected to the existing system,
bringing greater flexibility to the
internal organization of operational
areas, and maintaining the design
focus on client and staff comfort.

  INTRODACTION

risco has extended the oeiras clinic in Portugal and transformed it into the luz hospital. this transformation
concerned the construction of a new building adjacent to the existing clinic. in addition to an overall
reorganization of the program, the core theme of the project entailed giving the proposed building an entirely
different design to the current one, while creating a united image. the strategy involved studying the integration
of the architecture, signage, furniture, technology and internal communication, from the initial phases, to
produce a global quality hospital.

  INTRODACTION

 the new building by risco houses the

outpatients’ area, examinations,
laboratory clinics and some common
services such as administrative offices,
staff dining room, cafeteria and
esplanade.

. The hospital consists of three different buildings,
which are directly connected to one another. The
different buildings include:
 the emergency
 operation section,
 the residential section (short to normal stay) and the
senior section (for long-term stays).
 One of the main acoustical issues concerned the
location of the technical rooms (for HVAC) right
above the surgery spaces and patient rooms.
 In order to reach a suitable noise level just below the
HVAC equipment, the entire technical floor was
made floating by means of a jack up system. A
surface of approx. 2000 m² was treated with the 
Stravifloor Jackup system to create a 100 mm
thick reinforced concrete floor. The floating floor was
divided into different sections, having different
inclinations, to allow for a good drainage in case of
leakage of equipment.

 CONCEPT

  this is a rectangular volume divided by two outdoor patios at either end, to break the
monolithic nature of the form, making it lighter and suggesting at two volumes mainly
clad in shiny corrugated ceramic tiles. the west and east façades are made up of large-
scale sheets of the same ceramic material, forming a brise-soleil, to protect the offices
from sunlight and also increase the hospital’s energy efficiency. 9
  IDEOLOGY(CONCEPT)

 One of the innovative features of Hospital da

Luz, when it was inaugurated in 2007, was the
design of the interior spaces. At the time, we
proposed warm materials, areas to wander,
indoor gardens, and natural light, among
other aspects that were uncommon in the
hospital interiors that we were accustomed
to, which were austere and impersonal. Our
goal was to change the paradigm, focusing
on a more humane atmosphere that looked
more like a hotel than a hospital.

10
  FORM
 as the two existing buildings were built in
different eras, each with its own character
and image, risco decided that the public link
between them should have a distinct
nature. a light, transparent element, simply
juxtaposed against the façades. the space is
organized around a dominant central void that
links the three stores and brings daylight into
the heart of the building, and two vertical units
that structure a circulation ring on each floor,
providing connections between work/reception
areas and the various waiting zones. with this
new design focusing on comfortable ambiences
and breaking with traditional models, risco has
created a hospital for new generations of
clients and doctors.

11
The gardens and
natural light, the two
elements that
characterize Hospital da
Luz, were strongly
reinforced. Many more
glass surfaces on the
lower floors and many
more gardens, on
rooftops, and Theon the
central patio, to be
enjoyed from the inside.
