Xiamen Hongai Maternity Hospital, a new work designed by LEMANARC Switzerland, was nominated for the world's best medical architecture and space award by the world-renowned Architizer A+, and became one of the five most influential best hospital designs in the world in 2022.
The Architizer A+ Awards 2022 have publicly announced the winners for this year's 10th edition. Through its renowned platform, the A+Awards honors these visionary projects to a global audience of over 4 million.

With a judging panel of more than 250 members, the A+Awards is composed of diverse design professionals and includes many outstanding personalities. The judging panel also includes experts from other professional fields such as fashion, publishing, product design, real estate development and technology. Selection criteria were based on the functional and aesthetic qualities of the entries, as well as their innovation and potential impact.
For the "Hospitals and Medical Centers" category, five international projects were nominated. Each challenges the perception of a clinical space within its precise health professional domain and has prominent features.
Xiamen Hongai Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital is the latest project built by Lemanarc Switzerland, and it has achieved complete success. The hospital will be completed in September 2021, with a construction area of 96,000 square meters and 600 beds. The design is excellent and it has set a model for providing better professional obstetrics and gynecology services. This boost of efficiency is gained through exploration in its unique and thought-provoking format, designed to make childbirth and its associated medical treatment as memorable as possible. This part of the expansion is also part of the existing Xiamen Hongai Hospital. Its name stems from the intention behind the hospital's philosophy, Hong Ai meaning "to spread love". Its comfortable and safe atmosphere brings users a brand-new hospital experience.
