When it was first built in the 19th century, this Viennese hospital followed a pavilion style layout. Patients received care in relatively small, neatly arranged buildings with large park areas around them. Over the course of countless renovations and building add-ons, however, the hospital grounds ended up as a rather fragmented jumble of buildings and green spaces.

Nickl & Partner architects AG of Munich successfully reunited the individual pavilion buildings and created a more organized hospital complex with a clearly defined relationship to the rest of Vienna.

A multitude of building materials, aesthetic lighting design, a unique color system and well thought out signage turned the KFJ hospital into a model for other hospitals.
