An L shaped building that wraps around corner roads and is located on a plot of 6,000 sq.m beside the existing Bahrain Defense Forces hospital. It is an expansion of the BDF providing parking and healthcare facilities to cater for the growing number of patients.
The clinic, with a total built-up area of 40,000 sq.m, helps to organize the building into two mutually supportive parts; the first is a parking structure accommodating 920 spaces, and the second is designed for clinics and support medical facilities.
Despite the difference of functions of the two parts, the massing of the building with the roof shading device innovatively integrates the two parts into a unified architectural statement.
It was natural that the corner of the building plays a main functional role by locating the main entrance there and creating a significant visual architectural character in relation to the road network.
