Brunet Saunier & Associés | New Limmattal Hospital

1/16

The new “Limmattal” hospital adopts a simple, compact, and expanded volume to better integrate into the site’s wooded topography and contribute to the formation of the new urban space in the city of Schlieren.

The internal organization of the new hospital develops, around five interior courtyards, a system of regular modular structures, guaranteeing flexibility and adaptability to future changes and extensions. In addition to the hospital program (180 rooms, a technical platform with emergency services, intensive care, operating rooms, and imaging), the building also includes spaces dedicated to the public, open to the city, such as consultations and communal areas (shops, restaurant, seminars, auditorium). The rendered facades have a regular and minimalist molding punctuated by large bay windows through which the rooms open widely onto the landscape and the city, in complete serenity.
