NORD Architects wins new healthcare center competition
NORD Architects/MIR
The young office NORD Architects has won the competition for a new healthcare center for cancer patients in Copenhagen, Denmark. The winning design is founded by principles of healing architecture and at the same time it suggests aesthetics which are in contrast with that of a conventional health institution.
The design is an elaboration on the recognizable contour and scale of a house. At the same time the design becomes an iconographic building, as the small individual houses are interconnected by a sculptural roof structure. The building is enriched by the close relation to the surrounding landscape consisting of an inner courtyard, several terraces and themed gardens.
The design will be realised in collaboration with Hellerup Byg, Bravida Danmark, Wessberg Ingeniører and Metopos Landscape. More images after the break.

![Design Like You Give A Damn [2] / Architecture for Humanity](http://ad009cdnb.archdaily.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/1337368807-design-like-you-give-a-damn-ii-125x125.jpg)
I like the sculptural feeling of the project, which is enhanced by the play between steel and wood. The renderings are wonderful and have a nice soft touch, though I would like to see how this will come to reality, with mullions mainly…
Congrats guys, like my ex-boss says, “this is a winning concept!”.
LOOKS HOUSY…(HOUSE + -Y)
GOOD TO FELL AT HOME IN HOSPITAL. ^ ^;
SOORRRY
NOT FELL BUT FEEL
REALLY COOL!
Neat guys!
Nice images, does feel like bunch of houses interconnected. I love the spaces, but would someone sick like it?
Will be interresting to see the final result, good luck ;-)
It looks quite promising, I like the feel of an abstracted terrace of houses to break down the institutional-type scale of the building.
Nice interpretation for a health building, looks promising.
I would like to see the inner courtyard relation with the spaces inside the building.
Inspiring!!
Very good!!!!
Good feel to it. It’s fresh and modest!
What 3d modeling software does everyone think they use? 3D Max? VRay?
Vray is a rendering engine and can be used inside 3ds max… There is quite a lot of photorealistic render engines now so hard to way for sure, could be vray, mental ray, maxwell even or any other less known engine, but what I can tell is that it is not only about rendering, its also about compositing 3d and real environment.
thanks! archilocus.
