Developed in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic, the new Intensive Care Unit by Ventura + Partners created 11 negative pressure rooms for the Pedro Hispano Hospital that guarantee the best treatment conditions for patients and greater safety for health professionals. Doubling the number of beds in the Intensive Care Unit, this extension not only reinforces, in the short term, the response capacity of the Hospital against the pandemic but also translates, in the long term, into a new attribute for its regular service.
Completed in just 25 working days, the project was developed in a model of continuous collaboration between architects and the SMI team to ensure total adaptation to the needs of patients and healthcare professionals. Externally, the volume establishes symbiotic relationships with the surrounding buildings, harmoniously articulating Art and Science.
