The new psychiatric centre lies embedded into the campus of Friedrichshafen Hospital and follows the picturesque, orchard-laden, natural slope of the hill towards Lake Constance. The building encloses a generously dimensioned green courtyard and exploits typologically the contour of the hillside by providing entrances on two different levels. A wide spanning bridge frames the generous view into the undulating landscape and helps to emphasise the natural slope even within the sheltered courtyard. The psychiatric centre can be easily perceived from the landscape while enabling picturesque views of the countryside from within. Large central therapy rooms with direct access to the patients´ garden are arranged on the lower floor by exploiting the possibilities of natural illumination along the slope.

The new MRI Laboratory is part of the “physical park” of the PTB Institute. The MRI ist located underground in the historic “crystal-controlled-clock cellar”, which lies projecting the basement of the observatory. A folded green roof marks the sculptural entrance, " submerging" becomes readable, the laboratory thus turns into an intrinsic element of this park.
