North Bethesda Hospital

Here terracotta envelops the building, like a skin stretching over it without smothering it. Quite the contrary, as it stays in the background to show the glazed breathing spaces to best advantage and remains unobtrusive in the form of Autan XL sunscreen baguettes, thanks to a subtle composition.  Its delicate presence also provides the link between the hospital units, like an indestructible thread connecting the medical imaging, diagnostic testing, radiotherapy, oncology, infusion, nutrition and genetic research departments.
Piterak Slim is also used in an assembly combining two shades, Champagne and Chalk White, in two different finishes, smooth and ridged, to create slight changes in colour and in the way the light is reflected. The façade seems “clad in a woven fabric”, notes the architectural practice, who can pride themselves on having given this building a dream appearance that's beautifully rounded and smooth.
