Centro Clinico Santa Catarina

Interior retrofit of a medical center + entry canopy and universal access in Blumenau, Brazil

Main interventions implemented:

• Installation of full-height vertical elements and decorative plaques in white painted metal. The system ensures adequate ventilation (without a new air-conditioning system inside the corridors), natural light and avoid falling objects and people (recurring event in the past)

• Reconfiguration of the commercial floor: new reception, new lounge, new directional signage and green walls

• Complete repainting in white and light green tones

• Replacement of the wood trim with dark grey granite

• Main entry canopy: integrates weather protection, sunshade and night lighting

• Universal platform lift, placed to keep the architectural integrity of the existing stairway
