Alder Hey Children’s Health Park is an innovative new hospital model which merges a 270-bed hospital with a public park. The concept embraces community and nature to support patient well-being. The building’s unusual composition radiates out from an atrium into the park to ensure excellent daylight, ventilation and views of the outdoors. Grass flows from the park over the curved hospital roofs, creating a seamless connection between building and landscape. On the interior, each floor has a balcony with panoramic views, providing a respite for health care workers, patients and families.
