Innovating for Precision Care
Conceived to humanise hospital spaces, the cutting-edge facility incorporates sustainable technologies and solutions that prioritise energy and environmental sustainability. The newly-constructed pavilion accommodates the Surgical and Emergency Centre, a ten-level facility that operates wholly independently from the other hospital complex buildings. The project’s complexity was heightened by the client’s request for a high-intensity care emergency pavilion, posing challenges from both technological and healthcare perspectives.
Deerns Solutions
The task of designing a substantial volume on an existing site laden with numerous constraints and restrictions required Deerns to undertake a comprehensive analysis of different interventions. During the design phase, Deerns paid meticulous attention to energy consumption containment; the predominant focus was on optimising the performance of the envelope to minimise the building’s energy requirements. As a result, not only do the façades define the project architecturally, they also do so technologically.
Scope of Deerns
MEP Engineering Systems
Deerns designs mechanical and electrical installations for buildings that are healthy, sustainable and safe.
Façades
At Deerns we provide high level technical consultancy for building facades from design through to the procurement process.
