Langebaan Hospital - sketch plans

For the past two weeks I have been busy with a hospital in Langebaan. We are still at the stages of drawing upsketch plans for the clients. It is quite a large site consisting of many different components:
a community hospital,
a 28 bed day hospital,
a 24 bed annex and well as
on site medical staff residense.

All these buildings are linked by a passage which the nurses use.

28 Bed Day Hospital:

I was given the floor plans of both stories of the 28 bed community hospital and Frikkie and i discussed and decided on the many necessary changes  to the plans that had to be made according to the clients wishes. Once I had finished all the changes to the plan that the client wanted to make, I had to colour code the different sections of the hospital according to the key at the bottom of the drawing.

Medical Staff Residence:

The medical staff residence provides accommodation for 4 doctors, 4 physiotherapists, and 24 nurses. The layout of the doctors and physiotherapists accommodation are the same. It is a small block that has bee split into two halfs. Each half has two bedrooms with a simple bathroom and kitchen. Where as the nurses accommodation consists of the same sized block (not split in two halfs) consisting of four bedrooms, a kitchen and bathroom.

These small blocks are arranged in such a way so that they will be able to fit on the site provided. A row of three nurses blocks lie adjacent to eachother, forming a double story (6 blocks in total) with a undercover walk way. The physiotherapist and doctors blocks are placed nect to eachother, opposite the nurses blocks (single story, allowing th sunlight to stream into the space between the two buildings). This arrangements of buildings is brought together by a community area with a patio, for the nurses, doctors and physiotherapists, as well as undercover walkways.
