In the main stairwell, the floors are connected with a dark color to facilitate orientation. The dark color also gives focus to the stairs to encourage activity and healthy choices in everyday life.

Prerequisites and tasks

The project, called “House D1”, actually consists of two buildings, building D1 and building D2, with six and seven floors respectively and an area of 34,000 square meters. The buildings are connected to the hospital to the north and are accessed via the existing hospital main entrance. The entrance floor in House D1 is for reception and day care, including mammography and dialysis. The floors below and above house two new emergency departments and two medical departments with associated day care. At the top of the building are training rooms for methodology and medical education run by Linköping University.

All care rooms are single rooms with their own RWC. A patient lying in bed is protected from view by the high part of the window, while the low part provides the opportunity for nice views. Natural materials have been important to create warmth and ash details tie the room together.
The day room is located as a hub in all care wards. These have proven to be especially important in single rooms to reduce the patient's loneliness and increase mobility. By connecting to the outdoor environment via a balcony, natural materials and calm colors, an attractive meeting place for patients is created here.

“In Building D1, the goal has been to create a good care environment with a focus on the well-being of patients and staff.”

Johan Brendelökken, ingenjör, Liljewall

The interior colors have been chosen to create a vibrant and human environment. The colors also facilitate orientation through the house, with each floor having its own color theme.
The medical school has the best corner location in the building. The graduation hall has modern technology that facilitates teaching both on site and remotely. The focus here has been to create a warm and inviting atmosphere using natural materials and elaborate details.

The new expansion has also been given a centrally located Småland pine forest. Based on SLU’s latest research on the importance of the outdoor environment for both patients’ and staff’s health and well-being, an attempt has been made to include as many environmental qualities as possible; clear seasonal changes, natural materials, rippling water and places for both silence and social meetings. Great importance has also been placed on creating a strong contact with the green from within the hospital bed.

Länssjukhuset Ryhov was awarded the Jönköping Urban Planning Prize 2020

The partnering project Hus D1 — an award-winning success story for liljewall and NCC

The fact that this project has been able to be implemented at such a high pace is a result of efficient planning, which has also meant that costs have been kept down. The key to success is partnering.

The building is designed to inspire security. The window arrangement and playfully protruding "glass boxes" let in light and create beautiful views of the greenery.
