Pediatric Hospital, Astana

The expansion of the National Coordination Center for Emergency Medicine has been developed to accommodate pediatric care services. The new building, connected to the existing hospital through a glazed elevated walkway, is composed of five above-ground floors, one basement level, and a technical level on the roof.

The layout is based on a triple-body configuration, with inpatient rooms arranged along the external façades to maximize natural light and outward views, while service and support areas are concentrated in the central band, ensuring operational efficiency and rational system distribution.
Special attention has been given to the quality of therapeutic spaces, including the introduction of a healing garden on the third floor dedicated to pediatric patients. This space, conceived as an integral part of the care pathway, is protected by a lightweight glass and metal roof, allowing year-round use while promoting natural light and a constant visual connection with the outdoor environment.
The project places strong emphasis on the separation and hierarchy of flows, ensuring distinct pathways for patients, healthcare staff, visitors, and logistics. Emergency access points have been carefully designed, including two dedicated ambulance bays that allow protected and controlled patient intake, ensuring high standards of safety and functionality.
The architectural language of the façades features fiber cement panels in a color palette of blues, greens, and whites, conveying a contemporary, reassuring image consistent with the healthcare function.
