Nursing And Rehabilitation Center - Ground Floor

The aim of this project is to create a multipurpose nursing facility. The Contest is divided in three different Contests: the first Contest is about residential, refreshment and socialization spaces; the second is about nursing and health advice spaces; the third is about exterior spaces, with some part of them to be destined to rehabilitation paths.
In this Contest the first floor and the second and third floor are faced. The floors will be dedicated to the residential lots. Particular attention should be paid to the planning of the terrace, that should become a meeting and entertainment place.
In this Contest you CANNOT change the blueprints attached, because the structure of the building is already finished.
If you want, you can change the blueprint of the attic, that will be destined to the office lot. Infact, it is not partitioned yet.
With this Contest we want to obtain design solutions fort the Center that stimulate the employees to learn good practices through the communication of:
– A calm and familiar environment;
– A sympathetic and efficient performance;
-A sense of Safety, Trust, Innovation and Science.
Giving the fact that this Center supplies both social and health services at one time, the Designer needs to develop solutions that comply with innovations and legal standards and that spread an instant sensation of excellence with the selection of the right colors, lights and furniture.
The building is expected to have:
-An Integrated Center for elderly people
-A global Clinical Center for Rehabilitation
-Global Diurnal Rehabilitation
-Integrated Diurnal Center
-Medical Clinics
This Center is inside a broader multi-purpose structure that is near the Monserrato urban park. So, the entire building is at the entrance of the city of Sassari, 200 metres from the SS 131 junction “Viale Italia”.
The area is well served by public transportation and so easy to reach using principal roads. In addition, the area has commercial services (also a supermarket in the near mall), wide public car parks, and direct entrance to the Monserrato park. Nearby there are also the Superior Court and the Veterinary Medicine Department.
