Environment affects people. As a building, the health centre primarily provides healthcare services, but the aim in the outdoor area design was to maintain the health of the 18,000 residents and visitors of Ülemiste City and to prevent their health problems. The concept is based on environmental psychology – the result is a light, bright and green space that increases productivity and helps to cope with everyday stress
The transformation of the tarmac square into a cosy work environment needed intervention that would also consider environmental problems. The surfaces are mostly in light hues to decrease the urban heat island effect. Rainwater is buffered in rain gardens, collected in tanks and later reused for watering the plants. Green is not merely an addition here but the main tone, climbing up the walls of the building and forming roofs of tree canopies overhead.
