The size of the plot allowed us to hollow up the layout of the program of uses, giving space to several gardened areas, in order to propose an inward-looking health centre, with its rooms opening to a series of green spaces surrounded by walls. Insofar as it is possible, the health centre was intended to be a place for contemplation, that let the patient detach himself from the anxiety of town.

Only the ground floor corridor that leads to surgeries look to the city square in a veiled way, through a thick lattice of stone pillars. For the rest of the rooms, landscaped courtyards and gardens are the exterior space. We wanted a hacienda, or a series of courtyard houses, instead of the usual administrative building.
