As part of a comprehensive renovation and expansion project, St. Marien Hospital has been structurally modernised and functionally reorganised. The expansion incorporated contemporary energy efficiency with user-friendly room designs and a durable, sustainable building envelope made from aluminium, PVC-U and steel units.

A new three-storey building with a basement was added to the existing building. With approximately 2100 m2 of additional usable space, a new operating area, a modern intensive care unit and generous rooms for patients have all been added, among other things. Large-scale, highly thermally insulated aluminium windows as well as steel add-on constructions for vertical façades and glass roofs maximise the use of daylight and help to create a bright and friendly atmosphere.
Window and door systems were selected in such a way that they fulfil high requirements in terms of convenience, safety and design. Fire protection systems made from steel combine robust material properties with a slim, elegant design, while aluminium fire doors with up to 90 minutes of fire resistance complement the safety concept effectively.
The room side of the Schüco AWS WoodDesign window used is clad with real wood strips, creating a product that combines the best of both worlds: the high performance characteristics of an aluminium window with the natural feel of a timber surface finish. Different fitting and handle versions enable individual designs and emphasise the high quality character of the indoor areas.
