The building has a curved structure from the outside, and the façade is made of matte simulation U-shaped reinforced glass and double-layer aluminum alloy hollow wall, which blocks ultraviolet rays to the building and insulates it from external noise. During the day, the hospital seems to be covered with a hazy white veil. At night, the indoor lighting through the glass curtain wall emits a soft light, making the whole building glitter like a lantern in the darkness, a white “luminous box” in the texture of the cityscape appears particularly eye-catching.

With a total site area of approximately 12,000 square meters and the hospital’s north and west sides adjacent to the main road, Kao-Ho Hospital was designed to maintain an internal environment that is as insulated as possible from the harmful elements of the external environment, thus ensuring the visual and sensory comfort of the interior. A closed building design was adopted.

The building resembles a warm lantern, conveying hope in the city and dispelling the intimidating perception of cancer treatment. The “Soft Boundary” — a curved U glass curtain wall — blurs the boundary between the interior and exterior of the building, creating an open and inclusive medical environment. Diffused light filtering through the glass interacts and complements the greenery in the atrium garden, forging a natural indoor-outdoor transition. From dawn to dusk, the changing light endows the building with varying expressions, accompanying patients throughout their treatment journey.
