Safety, non-hazardous indoor air quality, durability with ease of maintenance, and resilience are the top priorities when designing medical facilities such as hospitals, nursing homes, and outpatient clinics. Architectura SA advocates that a well designed and constructed medical building be energy-efficient & disaster-resistant while still providing an excellent indoor environmental quality (IEQ). Our full-service architecture design firm offers specialized design expertise utilizing Insulated Concrete Forms (ICF) which results in a high-performance envelope system essential for Institutional-Medical facilities of critical importance. Building with Insulated Concrete Forms is now one of the most cost-effective ways to ensure these critical facilities are built with means of providing continuous operation before, during, & after a major disaster event. Most importantly, these ICF high performance envelopes dramatically simplifies and expedites the construction process in delivering required fire-rated/smoke barrier wall assemblies with superior noise control & indoor environments free of pollutants and allergens. The combined first-class characteristics of the thermal mass wall performance, double layer of continuous insulation, and its inherent air tight air & moisture barrier properties delivers a very cost-effective & superior envelope performance that is unmatched in the industry today.

By strategically and effectively achieving a high performance building, our clients will stand apart from the competition as great examples for other to recognize and become industry leaders in smart sustainable growth among healthcare and institutional facilities. Architectura SA prides itself in ensuring the completed design achieves staff efficiency by minimizing the distance between frequently used spaces while still achieving expandability and flexibility to adapt to continuing improvements in treatment technology. As typical in our healthcare projects, security and safety concerns are unique and our designs are put together with the intent to protect the staff and patients as well as its equipment and contents. It is our ultimate goal to combine the use of smart passive design strategies & staff efficient spacial planning with our exclusive expertise in high performance envelopes to maintain a first-class & comfortable indoor environment that far exceeds those designed and built through conventional means.
