Kirameki Terrace Healthcare Hospital
KIRAMEKI Terrace Healthcare Hospital

Kirameki Terrace is an urban development project in Kagoshima City that is underway to address the issues facing regional cities, such as population decline, aging, childcare, and employment. This 179-bed hospital is a part of the project and provides care for both convalescent and chronic conditions.
Large eaves reduce the heat load in the harsh sunlight of the area. A terrace on the second floor and pedestrian-only routes connect to other facilities in the block. The "zero traffic flow ward" adopted by this hospital has a corridor called a "veranda corridor" on the exterior wall. The lighting regulations integrated with this improve the patient room environment. At the same time, the staff station is directly connected to each patient room, making the nursing flow for medical staff "zero (shortest)". We proposed a new method for ward design, which has overlapping specialized requirements, and obtained the first registration under the revised Design Act * for a hospital facility. Our company will consider using this as a PR tool for our company, rather than aiming to exclude third parties, and will consider how to operate it and comply with laws and regulations.
*The revised Design Act, which came into effect in 2020, expanded the scope of protection from the previous "articles" to include architectural designs, and novelty and uniqueness are now officially recognized.
