Adi Negev Rehabilitation Hospital
§ Design note
  1. 01Healing Light. Soft, even light levels support a calm healing environment for patients and their families.
  2. 02Courtyards & Daylight. The healing courtyards bring daylight deep into the wards; the artificial lighting continues their calm character into the evening.
  3. 03Linear Language. Light follows the campus's linear architectural language and its stone facades with a quiet presence.
Stone facade washed with directed light at dusk
The hospital entrance with its curved frontage
Reception desk at a department entrance
Planted healing courtyard between the wings
Courtyard path along the glazed facades
Ward corridor in even, comfortable light
Courtyard garden with seating benches
§ Technical notes
  1. 01Visual Comfort. Shielded fixtures and soft optics prevent glare for patients, including when lying down or moving by wheelchair.
  2. 02Pathway Lighting. Low, even lighting accompanies the courtyard paths and the circulation routes between wings.
  3. 03Facade Integration. Exterior fixtures are integrated with the stone facades so the lighting reads as part of the architecture.
  4. 04Outdoor Durability. Fixtures are specified for the desert climate and simple long-term maintenance.
