Health & life sciences

We are all living longer because of better health care and medical advances. Pharmaceuticals, treatments, and healthcare developments are evolving at an ever increasing rate thanks to new technology and insights. These developments are contributing to society as a whole. At the same time, however, healthcare institutions and pharmaceutical companies are facing greater challenges when it comes to building future-proof infrastructures.

 

Sustainable investments in care and health

Health is not only a basic right; it is also of major importance to the economy. The pharmaceutical sector indirectly accounts for 2.5 million jobs in Europe, while 7.5 million people are employed in healthcare. This requires smart, future-proof investments. Our experts understand the complexities of this sector. We work closely with our customers to find sustainable and efficient solutions that meet the highest quality and safety standards.

Hospitals

Hospitals are extremely complex buildings. The numerous logistics and human circulation flows, high-tech applications, and crucial potentially life-changing interventions that take place within them mean that efficiency is a must. Our experts in hospital design balance medical precision with the need for the human touch. In this healing environment, the well-being of patients at every stage of life is what comes first and foremost. Our architects and engineers apply sophisticated programming and modular concepts to bring clarity and flexibility to new builds, renovations and extensions.

Laboratories & cleanrooms

The pharmaceuticals and biotechnology sectors are crucial to our health and wellbeing because they develop medicines and vaccines. These pioneering innovations require environments that comply with the strictest quality and safety requirements. Our experts will help you to develop laboratories and cleanrooms that are in full alignment with GMP standards, from concept to qualification. We maximise return-on-investment from the start, thanks to sophisticated process design, intelligent automation, and energy-efficient installations.

Healthcare institutions

Healthcare, encompassing both physical and mental wellbeing is indispensable to our society. Our designers create safe environments for vulnerable people of all age groups, whether they need urgent care or long-term support. They design youth care facilities, centres for mental healthcare, psychiatric hospitals, and care homes for the elderly. Some spaces within these buildings give residents the opportunity to connect with others, while other spaces are more secluded. But in all these spaces, nature, colour, and materials merge to create a new home. This approach has enabled us to build mini-communities that support wellbeing and rehabilitation.

Our projects

Our multi-disciplinary teams will guide your project from the initial design and permit application phase to end-of-life. In a sector characterised by constant innovation, high-tech applications and stringent requirements for hygiene, quality and safety, we design flexible and sustainable concepts tailored to real human needs.
