AZ Sint Maarten – Mechelen
The Sint Maarten Hospital organised an architectural design competition for its new hospital, combining 3 campuses into one. VK Architects won this contest with a more than impressive design. The design shows a human scale hospital that radiates simplicity and serenity – a solid building with a unique blind that functions as a fragile skin, which highlights the vulnerability of the site.
The challenge
The architects insisted on a white aggregate that offers a glassy look after the wall panels are polished.
