As the landscape around the HEALTH building is very unique, a lot of effort has been put into creating a visual expression that takes into account and interacts with the existing nature.
The nature surrounding HEALTH is therefore integrated into the building via planting, connecting it both physically and visually to the surrounding forest. Likewise, underground corridors ensure the visual connection across the building and create open spaces attractive to the eye.
Virtually every function in the building offers a nature view, and informal meeting places and study zones are placed to allow one to enjoy the unique surroundings. Between the building mass, courtyards are established with terraces that contribute to a pleasant indoor environment that is brightly lit and transparent.
As part of the Active Living concept, a rich system of paths for walking and cycling also encourage daily use of the surroundings, so that they, too, can contribute to a healthy, active work and study environment.
