Kocaeli High Security Forensic Hospital (130 Beds)

High-Security Forensic Psychiatry Hospital: Functional and Innovative Design As an integral part of the Kocaeli Integrated Health Campus, the High-Security Forensic Psychiatry Hospital showcases an innovative design inspired by the natural contours of the terrain. The building's form was shaped by following the site's elevation curves, with the main core, facilitating access and vertical circulation, strategically positioned at the structure’s focal point. The building, oriented at a 45° angle to the site, features 1 main entrance, 2 inmate entrances, 1 gendarmerie entrance, 1 parking entrance, and 1 service entrance. The natural terracing of the terrain not only defined the levels of these entrances but also enhanced the functionality of the overall layout. Inside, hobby gardens designed to support rehabilitation processes are seamlessly integrated, while the highest point of the structure is dedicated to a fire station and sports area. With its high-security standards and user-focused design, this hospital stands as a remarkable example of modern healthcare architecture.
