Landscaped rehabilitation universe

In 2023, Rigshospitalet Glostrup was expanded with a new neurorehabilitation center, the Bodil Eskesen Center. The modern building was created with a focus on the latest research in healing architecture and offers a highly specialized physical setting for patients with severe brain and spinal cord injuries.

The center is surrounded by a green park that gives the building a harmonious and inviting landscape character. In addition, AART Architects has elegantly integrated the park's expression with the facade's choice of materials.

In strong relation to the landscape, part of the building is clad in western red cedar. The reddish tone of the wood gives a warm expression and together with an almost knot-free wood type, a beautiful and exclusive look is achieved.

Cedar is ideal for lamella cladding as it is highly resistant to weather, rot, insects and fungus. It is also low in density and requires minimal maintenance.

Nordisk Profil has supplied wooden slats as Facade cladding for various areas, including side cladding and ceilings at entrances, interior framing at balconies and for the facade of several of the buildings.

Woodfac Panel is used for the wood cladding, which acts as a closed building envelope and protects the building from weather influences. The slats are installed with a center distance of 70 and 100 mm and in the dimensions 34x34 mm and 34x65 mm.
