Description:
Design for a prefabricated hospital, exterior perspective in landscape. Hospital building (indicated by “HOSPITAL” sign in red affixed to front façade) consists of seven modules; the central unit extends beyond overall length of building to create car port (under which one vehicle is parked) which overhangs double entry portal as well as ambulance bay at rear (one ambulance pictured). Front façade has no windows but at right, side façade features four horizontal hinge windows. Figures populate sidewalk surrounding structure, which is positioned on corner lot and planted with shrubbery in beds, as well as several trees.
