CASE STUDY: REY JUAN CARLOS HOSPITAL

The new Hospital Rey Juan Carlos in Móstoles (Madrid) is a centre integrated in the public health network, designed to offer care which is universal, nearby and effective to around 180,000 citizens. The hospital is endowed with a total surface area of 94,705m2 which provides: 570 hospitalization and intensive beds, 12 operating theatres, 54 outpatients' units, 33 exploration rooms, 7 Radiological Protection Technical Units, 84 emergency stations, 17 dialysis stations, 20 medical day hospital stations, 20 surgical day hospital stations and 17 radiology stations, inter alia.

Rafael de La-Hoz Arquitectos have been chosen to give shape to the new Móstoles Hospital. "Our latest hospitals, as health systems, provide effective care to the citizen, but they do so in an architectonic space which is unnecessarily dramatic and sometimes depressing", explains Rafael de La-Hoz. This is why the architects have designed a new hospital model which manages to provide the best in hospital architecture and the best in residential architecture through 3 basic elements: effectiveness, light and silence.

LIGHTING

On the bases of functionality, efficiency and sustainability, Rafael de La-Hoz Arquitectos has opted to light up the Hospital Rey Juan Carlos in Móstoles with the custom-made CLINIC GAS bed head unit by Lamp Lighting.

Of all Lamp Lighting's health lighting systems, the CLINIC GAS head is the most complete as it allows the incorporation into the same body of direct and indirect lighting, all kinds of medicinal gas outlets and electrical mechanisms. Thanks to its timeless, minimalist design, it practically disappears from the space, making the light the centre of attention. Depending on the needs of the patient and by combining direct and indirect light, we can create three different lighting scenes: ambiance light, light for healing and reading light. Thanks to its aesthetic look and smooth surfaces, it facilitates cleaning and disinfection tasks whilst, because of its functionality and flexibility, it adapts to the specific needs of each project.

For every different kind of room, from hospitalisation rooms to the prenatal units, the architects have gone for a personalization of the CLINIC GAS head with the technical specifications required for the correct undertaking of each activity.

Furthermore, in the wash-stands of the hospitalisation rooms it was opted to use the AMBIENT luminaire by Lamp Lighting.
