In the heart of the Jiaxing Economic and Technological Development Zone, the newly inaugurated Jiaxing Kaiyi Hospital stands as a beacon of wellness-inspired healthcare, a testament to a collaboration between Columbia China and Techvision Furniture. With 500 beds and a commitment to patient-centric design, the hospital sets a new standard for healthcare infrastructure in the region.
Resilient and Sustainable Design:
Techvision Furniture’s influence is evident in the hospital’s resilient and sustainable design. The emphasis on environmentally friendly materials, energy efficiency, and adherence to China Green Building Two Star sustainable standards showcases a commitment to both patient well-being and ecological responsibility.
Tribute to the Surrounding Landscape:
Nestled in a park-like setting, the hospital harmonizes with nature, utilizing mature trees and vegetation to buffer against noise. Biophilic design elements, including rooftop gardens, sunken gardens, and water features, seamlessly connect the indoors with the outdoors, fostering a sense of wellness for all.
Design Rooted in Tradition:
Upon entering the hospital, a welcoming lobby, inspired by the Chinese Traditional Courtyard, creates a calming atmosphere. Ginkgo leaf wall coverings pay homage to Jiaxing’s iconic golden ginkgo trees, symbolizing strength and resilience. The timeless design, featuring natural stone and wood, aims to provide a welcoming environment.
Fostering Community Connections:
Public amenity spaces, like the Family Hub on the third floor, enhance the sense of community. Patient recovery is supported by social activities facilitated by strategically designed public spaces, encouraging connections among patients, visitors, and care staff.
Wellness-Inspired Design:
Patient experience takes center stage in the design, focusing on maximizing natural light, wider hallways, optimized exterior views, and calming color schemes. The Integrated Procedures Unit (IPU) exemplifies this with patient rooms facing south to enhance comfort and well-being.
Flexible Design for the Future:
Techvision Furniture’s touch extends to the hospital’s flexibility for future needs. Adaptable office spaces and modular approaches in areas like radiology ensure the hospital is equipped to embrace evolving technology and community requirements.
As Jiaxing Kaiyi Hospital continues to evolve, with plans for a senior care facility in phase two, the collaboration between Columbia China and Techvision Furniture stands as a pioneering example of how healthcare spaces can prioritize patient wellness, community engagement, and adaptability in a changing landscape.
