2017
The new Nord Franche-Comté hospital, a merger of the hospitals of Belfort and Montbéliard, is located on a 25-hectare sloping site in the commune of Trévenans. The project is situated on the highest point of the land and extends a long, slender volume 210 meters long by 98 meters wide along the contour lines. It takes advantage of the natural slope of the land to separate flows (emergency access at the top and public forecourt at the bottom) and offer hospitalization units distant views of the landscape, reaching as far as the edge of the Vosges forest.
The project combines two ambitions for the hospital: that of a rational and evolving “healing machine” and a place of life driven by a concern for the well-being of both patients and staff. Thus, the reassuring presence of wood is found both on the facade (protected between two panels of breathing glass) and in the interior spaces, particularly in the hall-street punctuated by atriums that open generously onto the patios, blurring the boundaries between inside and outside.
