Located in São Martinho de Bougado, Trofa, the new Family Health Unit is part of a broader strategy to modernize primary healthcare services. The project expresses this shift through a contemporary architectural language that is clear, functional and welcoming. The spatial layout prioritizes efficiency, comfort and patient privacy, with consultation areas strategically arranged around a central atrium that connects the different functional zones.
The building is organized across three levels: a lower technical floor with support areas and parking; a ground floor that accommodates the reception, maternal and child healthcare areas, and consultation rooms; and an upper floor where the treatment and consultation spaces open onto an interior courtyard. The material palette emphasizes durability and simplicity—exposed concrete, glass and a perforated aluminium screen that protects interior spaces while filtering natural light.
Universal accessibility is integrated throughout the project, ensuring a dignified and inclusive experience for all users.
