Kahramanmaraş HG Hospital transcends the conventional expectations of a hospital through an architectural embodiment of healing that redefines healthcare design. Spanning an impressive 32,000 square meters, this state-of-the-art medical facility is meticulously crafted to address the holistic well-being of all its occupants by elevating the experience of healing for patients, visitors and the working environment for staff.

The extensive range of services within Kahramanmaraş HG Hospital reflects a commitment to comprehensive healthcare. With 150 patient rooms that range from standard to VIP, 7 operating theatres, including a cutting-edge hybrid operating theatre, and specialized departments such as Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation, Emergency, ICU, MRI, Radiology, Angiography, Laboratories, Women’s Health Center, and Management Offices, the hospital is equipped to address a diverse array of medical requirements.

Quark Studio Architects approached the design with a focus on providing a nurturing environment for patients; a medical facility where design meets compassion. Beyond its medical capabilities, the architectural design of Kahramanmaraş HG Hospital employs a blend of luxury and functionality through the use of efficient planning and wayfinding, sophisticated interiors with thoughtful detailing, and strategic use of biophilic principles for promoting comfort for patients, staff, and visitors alike.

Efficiency is key in the hospital’s design, with all spaces adhering to a simple layout, ensuring that navigation is intuitive and stress-free. Moreover, wayfinding is made seamless with brightly colored signage that is color-coded and legible.

The common spaces within the hospital include other amenities such as clothing stores, salons, bakeries and cafeterias, breaking away from the monotony often associated with healthcare environments. A vibrant color palette that combines artwork, greenery and natural lighting is used strategically to uplift the spirits of patients, visitors, and staff, transforming the atmosphere into one that is positive and welcoming. The design further emphasizes the integration of natural elements throughout the hospital. Small plants adorn various spaces, and throughout all the hallways alcoves within walls are ingeniously designed to house vegetation and natural earth. Ample daylighting through the strategic placement of windows provides sweeping views of the surroundings, further emphasizing the connection to nature.

HG Hospital establishes itself as a trustworthy and reliable healthcare institution with its cutting-edge technology and unconventional, luxurious amenities available for patients. Boasting a bed capacity of 280, the spacious patient rooms are each designed for comfort and privacy, offering a home away from home for patients on their road to recovery. Materials selected for the interiors place a dual emphasis on luxury and hygiene that is instrumental for optimal patient care. High-end materials are used extensively, not only providing an opulent aesthetic but also ensuring surfaces are easy to clean, promoting a sanitary environment for all patients. The sophisticated material palette is dominated by monochromatic brown shades; this choice softens the clinical atmosphere, making the space feel warmer and more inviting, thus contributing to the restorative atmosphere.

Careful consideration has been given to the lighting scheme, designed specifically for the hospital environment. Both natural and artificial lighting are carefully integrated to illuminate spaces efficiently. Full-height glazed fenestrations flood the interior spaces with natural light, creating a bright and uplifting atmosphere. In contrast, the artificial lighting scheme resembles natural daylight, reducing eye strain and creating a calming ambience throughout the facility.

Kahramanmaraş HG Hospital emerges not just as a modern and luxurious healthcare facility but as a testament to Quark Studio Architects’ commitment to creating a healing environment through the transformative power of architecture in shaping spaces that prioritize the well-being of both patients and healthcare professionals.
