Evangelisches Diakoniekrankenhaus, Freiburg, DE

By building the state-of-the-art “Flügel 4,” the Evangelisches Diakoniekrankenhaus is addressing its shortage of capacity and will be able to ensure high-quality patient care well into the future. The aim of our concept is to create an environment that places the focus on people and promotes healing. Well-structured plans guarantee optimal processes, while the interior design establishes a pleasant atmosphere based on security and trust.

Well-thought-out spatial program
The six levels of “Flügel 4” (basement to fourth floor) contain a range of functional areas that should be linked as harmoniously as possible. The hub of the layout is the large new central emergency admissions station on the ground floor. This level is also home to the cafeteria, whose integrative design will make it the meeting point for the new complex.
The first floor contains the new maternity department, while the second and third floors will be home to modern, high-comfort wards. The fourth floor is being equipped with a large conference area for patient information and other events and will provide new spaces for parenting classes. It will also contain a generous roof terrace.
The staff changing rooms are located in the basement. This new building represents the first phase of the development process. The second phase will involve the refurbishment and expansion of the stations and the other areas in which space will be freed up as a result of the extension. This rolling refurbishment program will take around eighteen months and should be completed by the end of 2025.
