Hospice – Home For The Terminally Ill 4th Edition
This is an ideas competition seeking innovative architectural concepts for a hospice facility dedicated to adult patients with terminal illnesses.
The hospice is envisioned as a sanctuary offering emotional, psychological, and medical support in a serene and supportive environment. The proposal should host up to 15 adult visitors (patients) and 5 staff members, with dedicated spaces including a small library, a gathering room, a chapel, a communal kitchen and dining area, as well as a nurse’s station and therapy room. The focus is on non-residential use, as the facility is not intended for overnight stays. Creativity is encouraged with no limitations on the building area.
