Building Typology


I will be researching Rehabilitation center with included spa.I am researching this building typology because I want to explore more into depth the possibilities to engage spaces to create a sense of comfort for physical and mental wellness. I want this building to specialize in patient rehabilitation before and after surgery or any trauma.



My goals for working with this building type are to explore and experiment an innovative yet functional program to serve the people who need to get better after surgery to help regain capabilities lost due  to injury or illness.

At this point the elements that will be included in my building type are
  • Lobby
  • Reception
  • Offices
  • Baths
  • Consultation Rooms
  • Medical Rooms:
    • Exam Rooms
    • X-Ray 
    • Lab
    • Nurse Station
  • Pharmacy
  • Therapy Pool
  • Spa
  • Fitness  area:
    • Yoga Room
    • Dance Room
    • Cardio Rooms 
  • Lockers
  • Dormitories
  • Kitchen
  • Living area
  • Garden
  • Outdoor Space
  • Mechanical Room
  • Storage Room

The following is a list of medical centers I will analyze  during the research stage of the project.
