Description
A Nursing and Rehabilitation Unit for long stay patients providing 80 individual bedrooms with assisted ensuite facilities for patients requiring intermediate care.

Innovations & Added Value
Set on a steeply sloping site, the building fits within the topography, keeping the natural setting of the slopes, terraces and trees as is moulded into the site. Along the contours the articulated massing, significant variation in planes of facades and levels reduce the prominence of the building. The design provides access out to ground level at most floors.
