We have 2 basic functions in the functions from the 1st floor to the last floor. 1-patient rooms (accomodation),2- places where health services are received in the hospital (consultation rooms, theater rooms, dentist). I tried to make a design on the façade according to these 2 different functional states. Half of the 4th floor is maternity patient rooms and the upper floors are completely patient rooms. By designing the bedrooms with a wooden grid after the 3rd floor in the left block (the block on the main road) and after the 4th floor in the right block, I have reflected the main 2 functions on the facade.Wooden gridal areas are patient rooms, black framed area is hospital service spaces.

The diagonal bars in the wooden grid give reference to the wooden construction style. Diagonal struts are used as the most basic element when building wooden structures. Structural rigidity of the structure is tried to be ensured with these diagonal struts. The diagonal woods on the facades of the patient bedrooms, which are wooden grids, refer to environment forest of hospital.The placement of diagonal woods on the façade in different positions breaks the repetition of the gridal wood layout on the façade and provides movement on the façade.
The project uses rainwater as gray water in the toilets and there are left energy panels on the roof. Patient room floors designed with timber in accordance with the surrounding forest texture also reduce carbon emissions.We used double glazing Low-E glass for design of facade for reducing the amount of energy needed to heat and cool a building in our Reale Hospital project. Low-E glass can help to reduce the building's environmental impact and contribute to a more sustainable future!
There are basically 3 types of spaces in the hospital, 1-main circulation corridors (they were open public spaces for all people), 2-semi-open spaces (semi-open spaces that open towards the corridor such as pharmacy, reception, waiting areas, nurse station, they are not completely closed spaces). ), 3-indoor spaces (they are independent spaces separated from other spaces by a door such as patient room, operating room, consultation room). All of these different places come together to serve a single purpose: to restore the comfort of their previous life to people who have lost their health. If these different spaces can be related to each other, if they can all speak the same design language in different ways, a successful hospital design will be achieved. In order to achieve this aim in the project, we tried to define a design language that was reproduced according to its own context created by the hospital plans, instead of taking the previous ready-made designs and copying them here. In the wing where the polyclinics are located on the ground floor, seating pockets are designed along the corridor. These seating areas are handled as a niche in the corridor, emphasizing themselves. Continuing on the ceiling towards the corridor, the niches move towards the ceiling through the arch. In the corridor in the casualty wing, the triangular nursery station also defines the space with a triangular surface towards the ceiling.
The separation of the two main functions on the facade really adds identity to the structure.
Istanbul , Nairobi and Kigali and based architecture office WALL Corporation was founded by architect Selim Senin in 2010 at Istanbul first. Senin has extended Wall corporation in Kigali at 2017, in Nairobi at 2022 too. He continues to work on various projects in Turkey ,Kenya, Uganda, DRC, Mozambique and Rwanda from Nairobi, Kigali and Istanbul offices. WALL Corporation is the architectural design company which has received more than 75 international architectural design awards from U.S.A, Italy, UK, Russia and India! WALL is a company that can design buildings in any function regardless of scale and structure typology. Besides the design of the building, it contains all the engineering disciplines required for the construction of the building.
