Master Planning Medicine Campus Davos, Davos

The Medicine Campus Davos aimed to realign itself into a progressive campus with clinic, research and education. With a master planning, OOS has created the basis for the future urban disposition of the clinic area and is implementing the vision step by step.

In terms of urban planning, the conglomeration of buildings that has grown over the past 120 years was restructured to meet the requirements. On the one hand, the master planning brings together the different usage requirements of various partners and thus supports the development of the entire site. 

This creates optimal functional and operational conditions for the various uses of the clinic, research and education, and maximizes the view of the valley and Lake Davos for existing and future uses.

Reorganisation of an entire area

The newly created continuous campus floor serves as an architectural organisational principle. As a connecting element, it brings together the various existing and new uses. These are all accessed via it. This optimizes orientation and the flow of people. 

The master planning also allows for free play and further development in the western campus area. The potential of the area can thus be increased and fully exploited by future developments.

Living South Medicine Campus Davos, Davos
Housing, 2027
Diversity in the housing mix as the key to meeting a variety of housing needs: With the three new residential buildings ‘Living South’ in timber construction, OOS is creating living space on the Medicine Campus Davos that was designed equally for staff, patients and visitors. 
The housing situation on the Medicine Campus Davos and in the surrounding village became increasingly difficult. The growing demand for living space for campus users increased the pressure on existing housing capacities. A comprehensive vision was developed that took into account the needs of the clinic and the general housing market.
The well thought-out mix of flats and studios provides a wide range of around 100 flats with a high quality of life. A central component of the vision was the flexibility for part of the future use. For the realisation, the uses are geared towards staff and visitors.
This is particularly evident in the building complex in the immediate vicinity of the clinic. Designed as a staff house, the architecture of this ‘studio flats’ sub-project is characterised by compact and simple floor plans with a hotel-like character. The spacious studios are fully furnished. There are also communal rooms on the ground floor, which can also be used by the clinic.
The two other buildings contain a mixture of flats in various sizes. This will result in a total of 34 flats and 67 studios or guest rooms. Almost all of the flats have private outdoor areas, which increases the quality of life for the residents. 
The buildings were arranged in such a way that the buildings to the north of the site can also enjoy an unobstructed and attractive view of the lake. The timber construction, simple construction methods and the targeted, efficient use of materials ensure that the construction method conserves resources.

Research II Medicine Campus Davos, Davos
Office, 2024
As an international centre of competence, the Medicine Campus Davos combines research, therapy and education in one place. To expand research activities, particularly in the fields of allergy, asthma and cardiology, and to promote translational scientific approaches, a further building was constructed: Research II.
The new building is located in the north-east of the Medicine Campus Davos. It is part of a comprehensive master plan that is gradually implementing the vision of an innovation location. Research activities were expanded with the building and space was given to translational approaches.
Research II complements the existing Research I building with additional laboratory and office space and offers a modern research environment for the new future users. The architectural expression is based on the new buildings already realised as part of the master plan in order to emphasise the visual identity of the research location.
The long access zone with several entrances to the rental areas opens up the possibility of setting up future sub-addresses. The building structure allows future conversions without the need for upfront investments.
An important feature of the interior design concept is a multifunctional body. This serves as a meeting zone and contains other important uses such as meeting and telephone niches. At the same time, it serves to spatially separate the various work areas such as the individual and group offices or the open space areas.
The building was tailored to the needs of the various user groups, including the CK-CARE, Cardio-CARE and Davos BioSciences research programmes already located on the site, with a fixed budget.

Research I Medicine Campus Davos, Davos
Education, 2019
With the new building Research I, an international centre of excellence for research, treatment and education in the allergy field is being created. The new building meets the complex requirements arising from its use as an educational campus, research laboratory and office.
The institutions SIAF, CK-CARE and Hochgebirgsklinik Davos are pooling their expertise: In Research I, which is directly connected to the Hochgebirgsklinik Davos, the spatial proximity of the three partners creates synergies and unique added value for researchers, medical staff and people with allergies or asthma. The new building was the first step in an ambitious master plan for the entire area of the Medicine Campus Davos.
Both the architecture and the interior design of Research I meet the complex requirements resulting from its multiple use as a training campus and research laboratory with offices under one roof. Various training rooms, a congress hall and a foyer are located on the ground floor. Office and laboratory workplaces on the upper floors round off the range of uses. The technical challenges of the building and the requirements for the laboratory areas (BSL 2 and BSL 3), coupled with a tight budget, proved to be particularly demanding.
The metal grid on the exterior façade fulfils several functions. On the one hand, the public ground floor is distinguished. On the other hand, the different façade grids for office and laboratory use are covered and tied together. The grid also serves to regulate the solar gain and to clean and maintain the façade, which is thus made possible despite the fixed glazing of the laboratory windows while the building is in operation.

HGK Therapy and Gastronomy, Davos
Health, 2022
The Hochgebirgsklinik Davos, as part of an ambitious master plan for the Medicine Campus Davos, is seeking to reposition itself with a focus on hospitality. The new building for gastronomy and therapy is intended to strengthen the rehabilitation experience, improve the quality of stay and use in favour of health promotion and support the positioning of the clinic.
The gastronomy and therapy wing adjoins the existing main building to the south. This creates a new appearance and a new reception situation. The newly designed foyer moves into the centre and connects the lobby with the campus floor. It thus becomes the focal point in the building and mediates between the public and semi-public areas. This simple spatial organisation optimises orientation as well as the flow of movement and daily routine of the users.
The therapy area with treatment, training and wellness rooms is organised around the two-storey gymnasium and ends with the therapy garden outside.
Analogously, the gastronomy area is organised around the central kitchen, thus creating short distances. The different restaurant areas cover the needs of the private, semi-private and general insured as well as families.
The building volumetry is deliberately kept low so that the attractive view of Lake Davos and the surrounding nature from the rooms is still guaranteed. In addition, most of the programmes that determine the patients’ daily routine are located on one floor. Due to the column plate structure, the construction follows the logic of a changeable building.
The striking white aluminium grid integrates the new building into the complex and creates a structural sunshade that guarantees an unobstructed view. Natural materials, bright and clear rooms, differentiated light and colour moods create an inviting, unobtrusive and health-promoting hospitality atmosphere.
