The client runs a two-story hospital on the site, so it was necessary to maximize the parking space for visitors. Therefore, truss beams were placed on the walls of the second and third floors to create a 17-meter pillarless space on the first floor and to secure a parking space. In consideration of privacy and to function as a "sign" of the hospital, windows were kept to a minimum, and the same finishing materials as the existing clinic were used for the exterior.
