The configuration of the entire building is made around an existing courtyard that reaches the basement floor through which the illumination of the rooms and interior rooms of the building is achieved.
According to the proposal, and in order to achieve a better configuration in terms of the functioning of the spaces, we intervene on the structure of the building at the level of volumetric configuration, where different areas of the previous building are eliminated and enlarged.
The first floor is treated in a continuous way, as a base for the upper floors, differentiating in a certain way the approach of the program carried out.
The first and second floors are treated together. The horizontality of the existing openings is maintained, although the use of slats creates a single, wider central horizontal band that joins the horizontal openings of the second floor with those of the second floor. In this new horizontal band there is a large glazed space to which the waiting rooms of both floors and the stair core are attached. This type of slat protects the consultation rooms from sunlight and direct views, while at the same time providing a safety element. The rest of the volume is clad with a dark-toned composite panel, giving the whole building a modern and sophisticated image.
The first floor gains light through the facades to the streets, while the interior spaces are organized around a large courtyard that allows proper lighting and ventilation of the different rooms.
An appropriate layout of the communications core allows, on the first floor, the direct relationship with the access to the health center, while enabling the organization of the first and second floor with two bands of circulation parallel to the facades that intersect in the area of the core as a T and that allows maintaining a scheme of bands of consultations and waiting rooms.
