Herlev Hospital

In the design of Herlev Hospital, SLA’s landscape utilizes the latest health research that unambiguously points to the great restorative value in prioritizing natural elements in our environment. Several studies also indicate that both patients and staff in buildings overlooking surroundings dominated by green thrive better, heal faster, are healthier and more efficient than in environments without contact to nature. At Herlev Hospital the nature will not only play a vital role around the buildings, but right at the core of the building in the form of courtyards, roof gardens and a green heart in the center of the hospital.
