Challenge
The project involved converting an existing residential tower structure into a world-class medical facility while ensuring compliance with stringent healthcare requirements. The transformation required innovative engineering solutions to accommodate advanced medical technology, sustainability measures, and patient-centered design within the constraints of the original structure.
Approach
DAO implemented a multidisciplinary design strategy that integrated cutting-edge medical infrastructure with sustainable and biophilic design principles. The building was re-engineered to house specialized departments such as emergency care, ICUs, radiology, and operating theaters while incorporating smart hospital systems like a Pneumatic Tube System (PTS) and a fully digital, paperless information system. Structural modifications enabled the seamless transition from residential to medical use, ensuring compliance with healthcare standards. Sustainability was a key focus, with district cooling, an 8MW solar wheeling plant, and an energy-efficient façade system enhancing operational efficiency.
Impact
The completion of Abdali Medical Center established a benchmark for private healthcare in Jordan, offering state-of-the-art medical services in a facility designed for both functionality and comfort. The integration of natural materials and retreat areas in the interior design contributed to a healing environment for patients and staff. Additionally, the project positively impacted the local community by introducing a public rooftop garden atop the parking facility, reinforcing the hospital’s role as a vital urban asset.
