Medical Institute of the Alpine Arc

The project was designed based on a clear conviction: the space and environment in which an individual finds themselves have psychological effects directly correlated with the healing process. In this sense, our design objective focuses on therapeutic architecture that supports the care pathway, in line with MGEN’s ambitions.

The Alpine Arc Medical Institute (IMAA) is intended to accommodate different types of patients, distributed according to appropriate units: a 'small' care unit with 21 beds for children aged 10 to 14, another with 26 beds for 'older' patients aged 14 to 18, both complemented by a post-crisis care unit with 17 beds for adolescents staying for three weeks, as well as a day hospitalization service for children and adolescents requiring more occasional care.

To ensure efficient healthcare services, the institute is organized around different hubs: the reception area with an administrative section, the technical platform for paramedical activities, the school unit, the restaurant with its production kitchen, staff facilities, and the logistics area.
