WHAT WE MAKE POSSIBLE? / DESING / HEALTHCARE ARCHITECTURE

Healthcare Architecture

Designing and building healthcare spaces goes beyond operational efficiency or technical regulations. When functionality is combined with thoughtful aesthetics, environments not only facilitate clinical processes but also enhance the emotional well-being of everyone within them—patients, medical staff, and visitors.
On average, more than 10 design variables analyzed per space
FUNCTIONAL AESTHETICS

Designing healthcare spaces extends far beyond operational efficiency or technical compliance.

When functionality integrates with a well-considered aesthetic, the environments created not only support clinical workflows but also contribute to the emotional well-being of patients, healthcare staff, and visitors.

Over 1,300 m² designed across various specialties
QUALITY & CONTROL VS. IMPROVISATION

From planning to execution, professional architectural design ensures efficient use of resources, technically sound solutions, and construction free of improvisation.

Every decision follows a rigorous process that optimizes time, costs, and the overall quality of the final result.

Ongoing regulatory updates

PROJECT SUPPORT

Beyond design, we take an active role in the regulatory, structural, and functional management of the project, ensuring that every decision meets current technical and legal standards.

We accompany every stage of the process—from planning to execution—with professional judgment, responsibility, and attention to detail, guaranteeing that the final result is viable, safe, and of high quality in both its form and operational performance.

The Process

01/04
Phase 0
EXPLORATION

In this initial stage, we seek to understand the nature of the healthcare service to be provided and the dynamics that sustain it.

We thoroughly analyze the project’s clinical, operational, and regulatory requirements, as well as the institutional expectations, the characteristics of the physical environment, the available budget, and the applicable technical and legal standards (such as current healthcare licensing and accreditation requirements in Colombia). This dialogue with key stakeholders establishes a solid, realistic, and compliant foundation that guides the design process with clarity and purpose from the outset.

Phase 1

ARCHITECTURE

In this first phase, the architectural project is developed starting with a detailed analysis of the site, its surroundings, and the client’s specific needs. Preliminary studies are conducted to determine regulatory, technical, and economic feasibility, ensuring the project can move forward without obstacles.

The process then advances to conceptual definition, where the architectural concept is explored through diagrams, massing studies, functional layouts, and initial spatial proposals. Once the concept is consolidated, the design is refined in detail, defining layouts, structural systems, installations, and primary materials. This phase concludes with the preparation of the necessary technical documentation —plans, descriptive reports, and construction specifications— which will serve both for permitting processes and for future execution. The result is an integral, solid, and executable project that combines technical quality with architectural value.

Phase 2
INTERIOR DESIGN

The second phase focuses on the creation and materialization of the interior spaces. Building upon the defined architectural framework, interior design proposals are developed to meet both functional and aesthetic criteria, carefully balancing form, light, color, textures, and furnishings. This process includes the detailed selection of finishing materials, wall coverings, woodwork, lighting systems, built-in and loose furniture, as well as accessory elements that help create a unique atmosphere consistent with the project’s identity.

Detailed drawings, photorealistic renderings, and technical specifications are produced to guide on-site execution, ensuring each interior element meets standards of comfort, durability, and aesthetics. This interior design phase ensures that spaces are not only functional but also convey emotion and adapt to the users’ daily life.

04/04
Phase 3
CONSTRUCTION

The third phase focuses on the physical execution of the project. It involves comprehensive planning and construction management, coordinating technical teams, contractors, and suppliers to ensure the proper implementation of both the architectural and interior design. During this stage, strict monitoring of construction processes is carried out, verifying compliance with schedules, optimizing resources, and ensuring quality control at every stage of the work. Additionally, the installation of finishes, furnishings, and technical systems is supervised to ensure that each detail aligns with what was planned in the previous phases.

Our approach during this phase is to provide continuous support to the client, addressing on-site challenges and making real-time decisions to optimize the process. The ultimate goal is to deliver a completed project under a model in which the client receives a fully constructed, functional, aesthetic space ready to be inhabited or used for its intended purpose.

Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to design a healthcare project?
It depends on the scale and complexity. A medical office may take between 8 and 16 weeks, while a clinic or hospital requires more extensive phases that can range from 4 to 8 months. In every case, we develop the project in stages—diagnostics, conceptual design, technical development, and regulatory approval—ensuring compliance and quality.
The cost varies depending on the scope, size, and included services. In healthcare projects, the required level of specialization also plays a key role. To provide a realistic and tailored proposal, we schedule a video call to understand the project scope and clearly define both technical and functional needs.
Healthcare projects require complementary studies such as biomedical engineering, hospital installations, acoustics, specialized lighting, ventilation and HVAC systems, as well as regulatory studies on safety, accessibility, and healthcare licensing. These are integrated into the architectural design to ensure the project meets all technical and regulatory standards.
Yes. We support the licensing process and coordinate with regulatory entities to ensure the design complies with current healthcare regulations. This streamlines and secures the service opening process.
Healthcare projects demand a higher level of specialization: they must not only be functional and aesthetically correct but also comply with strict technical standards and healthcare licensing requirements. This involves coordinating disciplines such as biomedical engineering, HVAC systems, clean and dirty flow design, and universal accessibility. In contrast, while commercial projects are also rigorous, they do not require the same degree of regulatory and technical detail.
