Fook Kuin Medical Centre

studio505, together with Surbana Corporation and Arkitek TM are working on the architectural design and interior design for a new 300 bed private medical centre in Sabah, Malaysia.  The building, whilst compact in its exterior form and appearance, is in plan based on an H-type layout with two vertical, central patient and visitor cores.  This configuration, typically housing 4no wards per floor, allows for as many functions as possible to be orientated to the building exterior thus maximising the use of daylight.  The entire building is climate controlled to counter the hot humid local environment, except for the two storey high entrance lobbies which are designed as a natural breezeway.

The building’s external identity is created through a large scale white ribbon, incorporating upper roof, external western shading, as well as the two central entrance canopies.  The external façade design incorporates extensive western and overhead shading to reduce solar heat gain and aims to emphasise the importance of individual patients and staff members within the overall organisation.  A sophisticated external park, incorporating individual gardens and a running track, is located above the centre’s main car park to incorporate it seamlessly into the surrounding environment.  The project is expected to reach completion towards the end of 2015.
