NEXUS8 Traumatology Clinic

​Text description provided by architects. Magicarch Office presents Nexus8, a concept for a trauma and physical therapy clinic, which, far from traditional stereotypes, envisions a new way of understanding health spaces. In particular, its main interest is in the “form of care” for participants. The proposal consists of a multi-dimensional project integrated with special central furniture, which equips and articulates the sanitary spaces.

This environment implements a business venture with scientific and technological methods. In addition, the project solves differently the “form of care”, in order to meet the diverse needs of patients and health workers. Likewise, it generates therapeutic properties with a thermodynamic strategy, creating different ambiances for climatic comfort. The design of Nexus8 makes it possible to create metabolic constructs that rely on rehabilitation techniques based on the human hormonal response. Rooms are characterized by the intensity, direction and saturation of light that users perceive depending on the space they are in. This is an essential part of the color design process.

The main entrance to the Nexus8 is located at the heart of the building, so the waiting room and reception function as the main hub. The main space is a transparent, ventilated room that benefits from greater height and local lighting, and where the patient is always dressed. In the eastern part of the clinic is the rehabilitation hall (dominated by pink shades, which help to increase melatonin and thus reduce patients' illnesses) with yellow filters providing seating areas in front of large windows (oriented mainly to the north) where the patient can rest or wait to be treated. His presence. 

In the western area is located the medical consultation (dominated by the color blue, which increases cortisol levels, thus improving concentration and helping during medical treatment and surgery). The cellular polycarbonate wall divides the inner end of the sparse space located at the end of the building, where the ceilings are low in order to heat and ventilate the rooms efficiently as the patient will be naked in this space and climatic attention is a much needed requirement. These ceilings are also illuminated by structured backlighting.

Therefore, the clinical space is designed from a color and light metabolic perspective, the spaces are separated by equipped devices that finish the completion of uses and energies, and the design of the invisible that thinks of atmosphere, sound, heat... as a material construction. “This Kubrick spatial organization combines an atmospheric and sustained visual style due to the convection of air.

“This spatial organization of Kubrick combines the atmospheric and sustainable visual style due to the convection of the air. This is a major factor that contributes to the improvement of climatic conditions, leads to energy saving and economy, without the need for additional resources, thinking about a more sustainable future.
