Crowning Architecture

Nord Architecture Healthcare Center Design Wins Competition

— October 14, 2009 — Art & Design
If I were an architecture firm (yes, a whole firm) and had the opportunity to build a new building for cancer patients, I too would like to ‘crown’ each survivor as the Nord Architecture Healthcare Center seems to do.

Having won the competition with this design, the Nord Architecture Healthcare Center will be created in collaboration with Hellerup Byg, Bravida Danmark,
Wessberg Ingeniører and Metopos Landscape. Featuring small individual houses, connected by the crowning roof structure, it will house an inner courtyard, several terraces and themed gardens. Take a look at the gallery for images, courtesy of DesignBoom.com and visit their website for more photos.
