La Paz Hospital: New Accelerator Unit with Garnica Elegance Plywood

The Accelerator Unit at La Paz Hospital in Madrid is a state-of-the-art space dedicated to rehabilitation and advanced medical treatment. With a focus on creating environments that promote both physical health and mental well-being, the architects of Murado & Elvira Architecture Studio have designed a pavilion that combines functionality, aesthetics and comfort. The design stands out for its extensive use of natural materials that bring warmth and serenity to patients.

The main challenge of this project was to find a material that not only complied with strict health regulations, but also offered an aesthetically pleasing, durable finish that would blend harmoniously into a high-traffic environment. They were looking for a product that could be applied in several key areas of the unit - from the exercise areas to the laboratory - without compromising on quality or appearance.

After evaluating various options, the architects opted for Garnica's Elegance range to clad walls and ceilings throughout the Accelerator Unit. This choice was based on previous successful experiences and the exceptional qualities of the material.

Product Features:

• Superior Finish: Garnica's Elegance range stands out for its high quality finish, which provides a warm, natural tone, ideal for creating a welcoming and calming ambience, essential in medical treatment spaces.Its composition based on European poplar wood from fast-growing sustainable plantations gives the board great stability, uniformity, lightness and ease of machining.
• Durability: Garnica plywood with European poplar core and decorative faces is renowned for its strength and durability, ensuring optimum performance in heavy use environments such as hospitals.
• Versatility: Plywood from the Elegance range is highly versatile, allowing it to be applied to both walls and ceilings, ensuring aesthetic consistency throughout the ward.
• Sustainability: Committed to sustainability, Garnica guarantees wood from certified sustainable plantations, thus contributing to the creation of spaces that respect the environment.

The use of Garnica's Elegance range in the Accelerator Unit at La Paz Hospital has exceeded expectations. The material has not only provided an elegant and uniform aesthetic to the pavilion, but has also proved to be hard-wearing and easy to maintain, essential qualities in a hospital environment.

The result is a modern and welcoming space that facilitates the rehabilitation of patients, supporting the work of the medical team with an environment that inspires confidence and peace of mind.

The collaboration between Murado & Elvira Architecture Studio and Garnica on this project has been an example of how the right choice of materials can elevate the quality of a space, ensuring that it meets both functional and aesthetic needs.
