RATCHAPHRUEK HOUSEPITAL

In the beginning of the new Ratchaphruek Hospital, brainstorm processes were discussed by various professionals towards the important keyword “What is your dream hospital?” Many divergent answers reflected both physical and psychological needs such as “Feel like home”, “Not busy, not crowded”, “Not get lost”, “A hospital that understands the local culture”, “Smell of the hospital that is not the medicine” and “Hospital like home”. The design of the new Ratchaphruek Hospital is intended to “Changing the horrible hospital into a Home that people are familiar with” (from Hospital to Homepital) through the following goals:
1. Creating an environment that is conducive to psychological healing, “even if the body is sick but the heart is not sick”
2. To be the functional and manageable hospital
3. To be the hospital that synchronizes with its context and surrounding
