A whole new kind of hospital – that is how the jury described the winning proposal by C. F. Møller Architects for a new 10,000 m2 ward building for Haraldsplass Hospital in Bergen, Norway. Gone are the traditional hospital corridors, to be replaced by open common areas and efficient logistics.
Haraldsplass Hospital was built in 1986 and has approximately 184 beds. The new building will cover 10,000 m2 and give the hospital a further 108 beds on three storeys. There will also be new underground parking facilities for approximately 400 cars.

Built on a pristine pasture in the spectacular presence of Mt. Olympus, this dwelling is rooted in the site and fostered by its residents. The owners sought a home that would operate on minimal energy, connect with its environment, promote family interaction and exude exceptional modern design.
The existing school is located along the main road in the heart of a Belgian village called Barvaux-Condroz, The school is in direct dialogue with the church. It has a widely open view at the back and an open area on the east side of the plot.
The school expansion and renovation project includes the following:
– On the existing building, the south orientation of the rear façade opens on the playground and the landscape, whereas the north façade is relatively closed.
– The position of the entrance to the school is a fundamental question. The present location of the pedestrian crossing and the analysis of safe access to the car park for parents led us to exploit the free zone on the east gable.

People live with nature・・・Sometimes it may live inconveniently and it may not sometimes work that it takes time and effort .
Due to the geometry and topography of the parcel, with unevenness of over 10 meters of fall from the street, it is chosen to construct two different typologies to better adjust to the land. Also, is distinguished the intervention through a little amassed volumetry. As far as for the distribution of the dwellings; the lounges are placed in the upper floor so it allows a better view without needing to rise too much the ground floor. The access is built by the back façades, average level below from the plant floor, with the intention to better fit the building in the land.
The project concept is based only on the Star of David.
All formal lines are drawn on the triangular mesh (two inverted triangles) representing the relationship between God and man (a triangle) with God and man (triangle 2).

The project was realized in summer 2011 for a media agency in Germany. As the architecture of the buildings, the brochure layout was clean, simple, minimalist but very elegant, contained only white, grey and a gold print colors, so the visualizations had to integrate perfectly into the design, maintaining the realistic look. Ambrozoom3D realized 8 perspectives (2 for each building, one bird eye and one general south view), and 24 floor plans for each apartment. The floor plans also had to be integrated into the brochure, therefor keeping a minimalist look, with few textures and each of them had to contain some decoration in gold.
The main entrance of the clubhouse, restaurant, swimming pools and other indoor areas are all located on the same level and are connected by ramps to the open air sports facilities, providing easy access to all its users. The building consists of a central space and two ‘wings’ with lower ceilings perpendicular to it. The central space is covered by a rectangular concrete structure that supports a green roof. The upper slab is aligned to the lower street of the condominium, integrating its green roof to landscape that’s visible from the residences.
The library was inspired by the hanging gardens of Babylon; one of the cradles of civilization and agriculture. The library looks to the future by integrating the natural systems of water, vegetation and energy into its architecture. It embodies and symbolizes the self-sufficiency of all people and cultures, as well as the inter connectedness of all humanity, creatures and nature. It embodies the preservation of the world’s natural resources and methods of uniting peoples, by promoting self-sufficiency through permaculture & top soil renewal-replacing industrial annual crop agriculture, as well as energy and water resource management. The library exemplifies unity through knowledge and the many possible ways to keep the dialogue open and keep the planets remaining resources and cultures thriving.
