An international competition undertaken in association with HOK and CPG, Ng Teng Fong General Hospital consists of a 707 bed general hospital and an adjacent 286 bed community hospital, in the Jurong township of Singapore. The ultimate objective was to create a ‘hospital without walls’: a health-care facility that is for the community and of the community, offering high-quality, affordable care to all Singaporeans.

The objective was to integrate the large-scale public building into the dense urban context. The site plan incorporates a community park and floating green roof terraces that link two existing green boulevards and continuing an urban parkway system.

To provide every patient with a window the design staggers the wall arrangements, giving the hospital tower exteriors a sculptured, textured appearance. Maximising natural ventilation and day-lighting generated the organic form of the ward towers, with vertical sunshades animating the glass curtain wall.

The hospital wanted to achieve Singapore’s Greenmark Platinum – this outstanding environmental energy performance is created in symbiosis with an outstanding patient and person centric design that improves healing, creates well-being and connects every person to the world of gardens and nature even in the highest care facility.
