In 2007 the architect consortium AAPROG-BOECKX-B2Ai won the ambitious design tender of the Healthcare Eastcost Belgium VZW. They had to develop a new health complex in Knokke-Heist for total care.
More than a decade later, in march 2018, patients , docters and personnel will enter the new facilities. The building itself represents a white cloud that drifts on a flat nature environment.
Ceci n’est pas un hôpital –refers to the belgian surrealistic artist René Magritte, it means also that htis building does not feel like a hospital but more like a comforting and and an open state-of-the-art care taking center, that inspires and that is embedded with licht, nature, warmth and imagination.
The concept of Total Care comprehends a hospital, a revalidation center, a care hotel, a poly clinic, a auditorium , an meeting center and a Heliport, this implanted on 12000m² of area.
The architects called upon Print acoustics Timber panels for correcting reverberation in several locations : first of all in the monumental entrance hall for the reception zone, then on the walls of the spiral connection in the patio, on the walls in the cafetaria , in the meditation area and last but not least on the backwall of the auditorium where they integrated Led lights/ sliding acou absorption doors.
The good collaboration between builder , architects, contractor (Strabag ) and installers acou panels (Vanver en Convents products) and manufacturer Triplaco resulted in the installed panels by November 2017 long before the opening in spring 2018.
This realisation in a high end health care complex is a nice complement in the most diverse public and private projects where Print acoustics has been installed:
administrative centra (eg AC Leiespiegel, Tony Fretton architects) ,
congress centra (eg Micx Mons, Studio Daniel Liebeskind),
Hospitals – nursing homes (eg AZ Zeno Knokke, ontwerp Boeckx Architects, in consortium with Aaprog and Buro II & ARCHI+I), Auditioria (oa Deloitte HQ Auditiorium
Zaventem, Jaspers - Eyers Architects & A2RC Architects) , sport centra (oa Topsporthal Vlaanderen Gent, AVAPARTNERS) , School buildings (eg Vesalius HoGent, MKA Mark Koehler Architect ) … .
