The structure is modest, but at the same time rich. The center is at 100 percent natural light and ventilation. The interior was designed with cross ventilation windows that allow patients to have control over their environment, creating a place of comfort, respect and dignity. The interiors naturally ventilated greatly improve the quality of indoor air, the promotion of a healthy indoor environment that brings additional benefits under carbon.
