making the children being not isolated behind the walls
The hospice is not a death house, not a hospital, not a depressing place to work, its more than a buiding, its a service for life.The main aim of the project is to to ensure hospice sustainabilty which can not be achieved without eleminating the key issues faced by the majority of hospices nowadays such as the feeling of isolation, lack of funding & support, poor design, shortage of palliative care professionals, and lack of personalization.These problems can be solved by integrating the community within the process feom day one, as this will ensure availability of funding & support, ending of the feel of isolation and therefore sustainability. This concept is applied through several parts in the projects by providing open spaces connected with direct access from entry to allow public interaction with children, integrating nature, using local materials, enhancing the visual quality experienced by the children and the staff, and respecting the surrounding environment. The project aim to provide the best experience for children at the end of their life.
