Hospital is estimated to reduce up to 27% of its total annual
carbon emission. The building was developed within a very
tight space. The owners furthered their commitment to the
environment by including EV charging stations for visitors and
staff use. The connection between the existing 7-storey building
and the new 12-storey wing optimises operational efficiency and
is designed to accommodate a future third phase expansion. A
double volume lobby provides a very strong welcoming element
to the building, while utilising its orientation to capitalise on day
lighting penetration.

Making a difference with all things green

Green materials dominate throughout the structure, such as vinyl
flooring, Low VOC paint and Gypsum ceiling board delivering an
environment of cleanliness and hygiene to hasten the healing
process for the patients in the hospital. The project team’s
decision to introduce greenery and more nature-inspired spaces,
worked to break the monotony of the incessant bleeps, and the
bitter smell of antiseptics common at hospitals.

High performance envelop design

Prioritising natural light, the building features an external façade
that is carefully treated with high-performance tempered heat-
soaked and tinted laminated low-E glazing to avoid unwanted
thermal gains. The thermal treatment presents an Overall
Thermal Transfer Value (OTTV) of 38.92 W/m . Additionally, the
2
external façade uses AAC blocks, known for their durability,
thermal insulating properties and lower carbon footprints
compared to other masonry products. The development is
equipped with an intelligent building management system that
ensures accurate measurement, verification instrumentations,
and precise controls for energy savings.
