Auxilio Mutuo Hospital
The Auxilio Mutuo Medical Office Building and Parking Structure was conceptualized as an expansion to the existing facilities, connected through an open courtyard and a pedestrian bridge. The arcade that surrounds the courtyard functions as a main circulation area, a solution to the various necessary connections between the three buildings, as well as providing a cloister-like environment protected from the sun and rain.
The eaves, brises-soleil, and changes in texture, color and varying depths articulate the office building. The red, metal-clad roof provides visual continuity with the clay-tiled roof of the original historic hospital building.
