The projects include:
Hillerød Healthcare Centre: Hillerød Healthcare Centre is a new type of healthcare facility that brings rehabilitation, physical therapy and home care together in one building and creates synergy between various functions. The vision is that this Healthcare Centre offers welcoming, active and engaging facilities where public health comes closer to the individual citizens and becomes more visible in the local community. The Centre intends to stage a whole new set of communities for health, lifestyle and movement.
Alzheimer Village:The Alzheimer Village in Dax, France, is innovation and renewal of a traditional nursing home for people with Alzheimer. The residents live in smaller houses, where they are included in the everyday-life and where life quality and healing architecture is in focus. The houses are spread out in the landscape, in which the residents can move freely and safely. In the village center they have a shop, hairdresser, restaurant, cultural center and healthcare center, so that they have everything they need for in order to have an almost normal everyday life. There is also a research center and housing for visiting researchers and volunteers in the village, to attract resources from all over the world.
First Urban Hospice in Denmark: NORD Architects has designed a new hospice for the deaconess community, located in Copenhagen, Denmark. The project will replace the existing hospice, designed to reflect and support the notion that healing architecture has a positive effect on palliative patients.
