Meander Medical Centre
The new Meander Medical Centre in Amersfoort is a completely new type of hospital. In this impressive health care institution the patient remains central and the connection with the surrounding nature is strongly felt throughout the building.

Despite its size of more than 100,000 m², it’s a hospital where people can easily find their way around.

To make a new start the church government decided to sell one of the church buildings and give the other church building a radical transformation. The former building was build in the 1970’s and was typical for that time. The building didn’t look like a church, it was quite dark and very low. Because of that the acoustics of the church hall were pretty bad. The church government asked Marco Tavenier of Bureau MT to design the renovation of the church.

In response, SO – IL has designed 32 modern, geometrically shaped showcases in bright colors and with ‘pointed tops’. These showcases not only serve the Meissen objects also autonomous in character.
