The first domestic urban cloud hospital platform - Xikang Cloud Hospital's office and outpatient department, is located near the Yuehu scenic area in Ningbo. The historical building from the Republican period, with a three-progress courtyard layout, was restored in accordance with the principle of"restoring the old as it was." The original wooden structure was carefully restored, and the modern framework that had been rented and modified several times was removed, restoring the original windows and doors to allow natural light and ventilation to revive the space and create an interactive relationship with the courtyard.
Secondly, the design analyzed the relationships between the building, sunlight, indoors and outdoors, and combined the special functions of the cloud hospital to rationally arrange the functional areas. A large number of improvement measures were made to improve the brightness, thermal insulation, heat insulation and sound insulation of the indoor space. The designer installed suspended ceilings in some areas and concealed the air conditioning equipment within them. Then,the decorative surface layer was selected to retain the original wooden structure roof, blue bricks and rough stones, which were skillfully integrated with the new partition walls, creating a sense of fusion between the old and the new. The bluestone floor laid out creates a sense of landscape, as if the color difference were a watercolor painting. The lighting design combines point light sources and soft light strip light sources to accurately meet the space lighting needs; at the same time, the light strip on the roof beam joints highlights the wooden structure roof, making the ancient building atmosphere more breathable, bright and warm.
Finally, the overall soft art decoration and display, with the theme of "life and nature, time and space," combines the brand VI and attributes for artistic interpretation. Original art installations, recommended artist works, etc. are all designed to enable people to feel warmth and energy as well as the unique corporate culture when walking through the space.
The overall project showcases the design's respect for traditional culture, historical buildings, and a deep understanding of the needs of new medical spaces. The use of humanistic art has turned Xikang Cloud Hospital into a pioneering space that integrates cultural history, medical care, and a future of technology and innovation.
