Medicity at Dubai

Dubai, United Arab Emirates

This project stems from an invited international competition for a chain of high-end tertiary care hospitals in Dubai, U.A.E. The project brief was to develop concepts that allow the hospital to grow seamless while addressing discrete end-user circulation for each phase. The proposed design had a multi-level drop off zones for out-patients, in-patients, ED, services and staff. A flowing boomerang that is deconstructed into three phases could augment a coherent short-term as well as long term expansions of the required programme. The form also tapers in subtly at each floor level creating vibrant green terraces that enhance patient experience and augment healing.
