Hospital park to get back on your feet: Nuova Villa Bellombra

Nuova Villa Bellombra, a private hospital for polytrauma patients active since 2022 in Bologna, reconnects patients with life to stimulate the desire and will to heal. It achieves its purpose through architecture deeply connected with nature and light

Ethical style for a structure of high human and environmental value

The architecture projects of GBa studio are characterized by the pursuit of an "Ethical style"; this is also the case in the design of the Nuova Villa Bellombra, which takes into account the vital impulse that architecture can stimulate in its users, crucial in the case of a hospital, as well as the building's energy impact on the environment and the thermal and electromagnetic comfort it must provide. Biophilic architecture, biophilic design, bioclimatics, and bioengineering intertwine in this structure of high human and environmental value

Supporting healing through architecture and landscape

The project for the Nuova Villa Bellombra is born around the idea of supporting the healing of polytraumatized patients through the provision of an external environment strongly connected to the interiors which, through its natural beauty, stimulates the desire to live and visit it with the consequence of strengthening the will to "get back on one's feet". Being able to savor the flow of the seasons and the different climatic conditions benefits patients who no longer feel isolated from the outside world. These design inputs have given life to a hospital park with a breath that is not only architectural but also landscape and urbanistic

The triple-height lobby and hospital layout

Set in a sparsely developed area, surrounded by greenery and fields that the Property also contributes to planting outside the lot, the hospital has a unique layout that reserves the ground floor for the healthcare area. The triple-height lobby, with its inclined glass facade, is the visual focal point that helps visitors orient themselves. The inclination of the transparent surface allows for optimizing resistance to weather elements and shading

Gardens for the cognitive and physical abilities of patients

The park intertwined with the hospital architecture hosts thematic gardens that stimulate guests through the scents and colors of flowers and plants: benefiting the memory, cognitive, and physical abilities of patients. A winter garden allows to take advantage of the benefits of nature even in the colder seasons, while all year round natural light and ventilation ensure the maximum possible well-being inside the Nuova Villa Bellombra
