Livsrum Cancer Counseling Center
Livsrum is EFFEKT's 1st prize project in the competition for a new cancer counseling center
at Næstved hospital in Denmark in collaboration with Hoffmann and Lyngkilde. The
center is designed as a cluster of seven small houses around two green outdoor
spaces. Each house has its own
specific function and together they form a coherent sequence of different
spaces and functions such as a library, kitchen, conversation rooms, lounge,
shops, gym, and wellness facilities. The
house offers a wide range of different rooms for informal advice, therapy and
interaction with a focus on the users' comfort and wellbeing. A varying roof height and materials used means that
the building will have its own unique architectural character that clearly
distinguishes it from the surrounding hospital buildings. With the location of the cancer counseling centre
close to the hospital's cancer ward, it is set for a closer collaboration
between hospital staff and the Danish Cancer Society.
Construction is scheduled to begin in August 2012. Already in the spring of 2013 the Danish Cancer
Society staff and volunteers in Næstved expects to offer cancer patients and
caregivers a warm welcome in the new cancer counseling center.Hans Peter Svendler, director
of Realdania explains,"The winning project shows a very compelling vision of how a counseling
centre can be arranged and we look forward to seeing the finished house".
Experts from the jury's report read, "It's a compelling simple and logical plan composition with fine spatial experiences in the movement around the inner courtyards and the center's in-house facilities".
