The expansion project of the Sanatorio Guadalupe in Cuernavaca, Morelos, is conceived as a respectful and precise intervention within a heritage context protected by the INAH. The proposal responds to the need to extend the clinical program without altering urban memory: a gesture of discretion that translates into an “architectural silence.” The new examination area is placed on the rooftop, set back three meters from the main boundary, rendering it invisible from the street and preserving the historic profile of the city intact.
The spatial strategy is articulated through a steel load-bearing structure that functions as a large, lightweight canopy—a tectonic “umbrella” that houses six medical offices, a sampling area, and a waiting room. Beneath this metallic skeleton, natural pine wood takes center stage: deployed in reticular lattices, it defines spaces and blurs the boundaries between architecture and furniture. Walls transform into benches and support surfaces, creating a functional and welcoming environment for users.
Material honesty guides the discourse: steel provides rigidity and structural clarity, while wood introduces warmth and closeness. This duality is complemented by integrated vegetation, which softens the experience and reinforces the atmosphere of calm. Light filtered through the lattices creates a serene ambiance, where architecture transcends its clinical function to become a space of well-being, peace, and trust.
The result is an expansion that does not compete with the existing structure, but rather enriches it. A contemporary intervention that respects heritage while offering a dignified and human environment for medical care.
