Hospital Training Center, Rorschacherstrasse

The commercial building at No. 226 Rorschacherstrasse serves as a fusion of healthcare and education: a training facility for St. Gallen Cantonal Hospital. Externally blending with the urban streets of St. Gallen, the interior challenge was to create an immersive, expressive learning environment – a modern space to inspire excellence in healthcare.

Toying with light and shadow – and interior design expectations – the team created a playful stepped ceiling effect with custom METAL R-H 200 ceilings in the lobby and canteen, making an instant impact on visitors. METAL Sky Element Hook floating ceilings were combined with the METAL F-H 600 system in open plan areas and linear METAL Baffle Elements in the auditorium. The result: a strikingly geometric, accented ceiling that plays with planes while blending modernity and practicality – diffusing light and expressive design throughout the building.
