Nord-Ouest Hospital is a project unique in many ways: its architecture, work in collaboration with the artist Franck Gervaise, its technicality and the innovation of its equipment or the challenge of carrying out a such project on an occupied site...

From the architect: The hospital welcomes its patients in a warm embrace between two buildings with enveloping and reassuring curves. These extensions are added to either side of a new slim and transparent hall, whose top floor contains a cafeteria and meeting areas overlooking a wide green forecourt.
At the heart of this building is a flawless care organization that is unfaltering both in its care for its patients and professional teams. The circulation zones are compact, comfortable, and filled with light, with many different views. The contemporary brise-soleils punctuate the composition of the facades in various shades of green. In the rooms, there are metal shutters over the bay windows above the big visitor seats, providing privacy, while optimizing space and comfort.
