Children's Hospice House for Julia

Inner peace, acceptance, humility and harmony. These are the emotions we aimed to incorporate into the design of the children’s hospice. Despite its size, is quite discretely set into the surrounding area. It is placed into the natural amphitheatre of the original park and oriented towards a protected inner courtyard with preserved mature trees. All the children’s rooms and the communal spaces are oriented towards this atrium with views of greenery and even a small pond. We also designed a viewing walkway on the roof leading to a meditation spot at the top of the hill. From the parents‘ rooms on the upper floor, you can access it at any time - day or night.
