How do you combine attractive working conditions with patient-centred, state-of-the-art medical care? One key way is to choose an experienced partner for the interior fit-out, one with a proven track record of expertise and construction know-how in the field of spatial and furnishing solutions.

Starting point
The Inselspital’s new 63 metre high main building, the Anna-Seiler-Haus, houses various specialist clinics with outpatient departments, operating theatres as well as monitoring and inpatient wards. It is the first hospital building of this size and complexity to be certified Minergie-P-Eco.

«A future-oriented hospital building is being created here. Patients and staff should feel comfortable and be able to find their way around the premises. Therefore, we paid special attention to plenty of daylight, views and generally bright and friendly materials. Additionally, processes are simplified and distances are reduced. Patients will benefit from central contact points and larger treatment rooms», says Bruno Jung, overall project manager for the new hospital building in construction area 12.

Prototype construction
To meet these high standards, we worked closely with the architects to create a prototype of the workstation counter. This allowed us to test workflows and processes on a 1:1 scale and make adjustments to meet the needs of the future users. The result: the counters are proving their worth in everyday use!

 

Production and installation
We manufactured a total of 33 workstations and reception counters in our workshop and then installed them on the 16 floors of the Anna-Seiler-Haus.

The reception counter is both technically and aesthetically impressive with

  • a cladding made of Dekton — an innovative, ultra-compact composite material made from a mixture of glass, porcelain and quartz — mitred to size
  • a fixed glazing of resistance class RC2/FB4 and an integrated sash window
  • an intercom system

The wall finishes are also quite impressive: meeting the “RF1” (non-combustible) requirement and featuring acoustic elements made from plaster, they significantly contribute to the comfort of both patients and staff.

This interesting project allowed our specialists to apply their extensive knowledge and experience in the right processing and combination of various materials — as well as their attention to detail and passion for beautiful, functional design.

We would like to thank the Insel Gruppe for their trust and the Archipel planning consortium for the constructive and pleasant collaboration.
