Medico Express San Isidro

Located in Santo Domingo Este, Medico Express San Isidro is an 8,715 m² outpatient center that redefines healthcare design through Human-Centered Architecture. This innovative facility seamlessly integrates architecture and medicine, embracing principles such as Evidence-Based Design, Neuroarchitecture, Sustainability, Universal Accessibility, and a People-Centered Approach. The project aims to transform the healthcare experience, focusing on the physical and emotional well-being of all users.

-Driven Design

The design’s primary objective is to reduce stress and anxiety for patients, families, and staff. By fostering a calm and welcoming environment, the center promotes mental well-being and enhances the overall healthcare journey.

Inspired by Nature

Rooted in Dominican identity, the design draws inspiration from Barahona’s natural beauty, where sea and mountains coexist harmoniously. Through the strategic use of natural light and views of greenery, the center creates an atmosphere that feels both human and empathetic, turning healthcare visits into restorative experiences.

Innovative Strategies

1. Evidence-Based Design: Scientific research informs every detail, from hygienic, easy-to-clean materials to specialized furniture that prioritizes safety and comfort.

2. Neuroarchitecture: Acoustic solutions reduce noise, while a calming color palette inspired by nature evokes tranquility, benefitting neurotypical and neurodivergent users alike.

3. Sustainability: The design incorporates natural light, endemic low-maintenance gardens, and non-toxic materials, ensuring energy efficiency and a healthy indoor environment.

4. Universal Accessibility: Wide corridors, ergonomic seating, and intuitive layouts make the center inclusive for all users, regardless of mobility or sensory needs.

A Seamless Integration

Medico Express San Isidro harmonizes with its urban surroundings, featuring planters and open seating areas that create a smooth transition between interior and exterior. Skylights and central atriums maximize natural light, reinforcing a fresh and inviting ambiance for all.
