Sumit Singhal loves modern architecture. He comes from a family of builders who have built more than 20 projects in the last ten years near Delhi in India. He has recently started writing about the architectural projects that catch his imagination. Physiotherapie and rehabilitation centre PUR in Freistadt, Upper Austria by Peter Schneider, Erich LengauerSeptember 4th, 2012 by Sumit Singhal
Article source: Schneider & Lengauer Architekten Over the past years, Thomas Plöckinger-Schatzl and his team have expanded their services. Besides classical physiotherapy, they now also offer medical exercise therapy, massage, and the sale of training and therapy utensils. The integration of all these services made building a new practice essential. The space solution developed by Schneider & Lengauer integrates these requirements and therefore provides a simple, smooth and barrier-free organization of all work areas.

The waiting area in the foyer is complemented with wardrobes and sanitary facilities to prevent carrying of road dust and dirt inside the building. The deliberately simply and functionally designed therapy rooms are separated by an atrium, as are the cardiac and sports medicine training area.

It is lined with white pebbles and has bamboo growing at its centre – a calming sight, enhancing focus on one’s own therapy. The cardio area has a terrace in front, which serves as a space for rehabilitation measures (e.g. gait training).
