Materials used in formation are glass, stone, aluminum sheet, corrosionresistant material and the wood. The medical facilities and hotel buildings are formed as glass cubes having the raster of vertical sun-vanes made of shiny sheet metal on the brim. Such plastic art on the faade screen forms an artificial projection of trees in the architecture, gives rhythmicity to the building, but also the regularity and dignity intensified along the main entrance. The in-patient part, with its surfaces full of stone, glass and wooden grill along loggias, represents fusion of nature and architecture, and connects the residential part with the natural environment, by its location and usage, as well as in its material formation. Recreation wellness facilities, as unburdened forms, are designed as irregular multi-rounded space forms made of glass, steel and wood, which gives the entire complex a note of autochthony and its modern interpretation by fusing with the nature and formation reminiscences to yurtas, as primordial gathering points in

ground floors. The size of the building is 130 x 24 m. In the basement, there are servicing-technical areas linked by elevators with the facilities on the floors, as well as an underground linking corridor with other technical areas laundry, sterilization, farming court-yard and similar. Characteristic in-patient units are designed in 3 zones: patient rooms zone oriented towards the south, servicing facilities zone, rooms for physicians, nurses, doctors offices and similar, located on the north side of the building, while the communication zone is in the middle a wide corridor

On the land parcel located in the planned high greenery and woods in the capital of Kazakstan Astana, the task was to design a high standard diagnostic health-rehabilitation centre (sanatorium) with complementary facilities. The following facilities are planned: the polyclinic facilities, diagnostics, three minor operating rooms with complementary facilities of intensive care, coronary care units, daily hospital for a brief stay when receiving therapy or minor surgeries, centre for scientific research, physical rehabilitation department with indoor pool and wellness facilities, in-patient clinic with 120 beds, hotel, joint facilities such as the restaurant, coffee shop, pharmacy, minor shop, as well as complementary facilities such as technical areas, laundry, kitchen and similar. The closed garage is planned underneath the building. The entire concept has been designed as four buildings connected with joint communications envisaged as streets or air bridges. Besides the main entrance on the ground floor, which is on the north side, a hotel is located on the west side and a polyclinic admitting the highest number of patients on the east side. From the main entrance, the communication flows by the interior street that is partially expanded by squares of mostly catering facilities, ambient greenery groups or water spaces, in order to enrich the interior by drawing in the surrounding nature of the park. In the continuation of the hotel facilities, across the polyclinic part of the building, a part with pools, physical medicine and wellness is located. The in-patient part is set as the final part of the building, oriented towards the south and green, more peaceful part of the land parcel.

IN-PATIENT BUILDING HOTEL RECREATION BUILDING MAIN COMMUNICATION

MEDICAL FACILITIES BUILDING is designed as a building with the basement, ground floor and 2 floors. The building is of a regular square form with an atrium in the middle. The size of the building is 72.5 x 72.5 m, and of the atrium 42.5 x 28m. In the basement, there is a garage area connected by elevators with the facilities on the floors for patients or visitors, as well as complementary technical-supplementary areas. On the ground floor, there are polyclinic facilities, listed in more detail in the list of facilities. They are designed as groups of related doctors offices with a waiting room and a reception (e.g. cardiologic ward, internal-medicine ward etc.). In addition to hospital facilities, there are also laboratories, and especially microbiological, biochemical and cytological laboratories in which samples are both taken and analyzed. Vertical communications towards a specialized part of diagnostics of a surgery block and daily hospital are located equally distributed on four sides of the building. They consist of elevators (glazed) and stairways that is also firefighting evacuation way. In the central part between the atrium and the main communication, there is a formed square with two vertical communications and a coffee shop, which continues visually in the area of the atrium decorated as a garden with the greenery and water attractions. The atrium is covered with a glass segmented roof, which can be partially opened in the summer, so the garden becomes a part of the exterior, and covered with a glass roof in the winter, so it becomes a heated winter garden. On the first floor, there is diagnostics covering the Rtg diagnostics, magnetic
resonance, ct diagnostics, endoscopic diagnostics or minor surgeries and similar. As a separate ward, there are three minor operation rooms for minor surgeries, cardiac operations and similar with the complementary facilities. Besides the surgery, there are areas for awakening, intensive care and coronary intensive case, after which come the daily hospital and the link to the in-patient clinic. In addition to the daily hospital there is also a separate reception. It is designed as an area with single-rooms and multi-bed rooms in which patients lay or only receive therapies. Each area has separate sanitary facilities and nurses that are also located in the central open communication in order to be available to all patients. Within the framework of the daily hospital, there is also a living room for patients with a dining room, as well as necessary complementary facilities. On the last, 2nd floor of the building, there is a scientific research centre with rooms for physicians and classrooms or a hall for major meetings. On the same floor, there is a glazed restaurant lookout in the greenery. There are also necessary auxiliary and technical areas and it is also possible to expand the facilities according to the Investors requests.

with galleries and greenery, lighted through lights on the roof, light penetrating through the galleries up to the ground floor. Vertical communications lifts and elevators are located in the central part, while each in-patient unit has its own firefighting stairway. On the first floor, there is a bridge and an elevator the link with the medical block (daily hospital, surgery block and diagnostics).

RECREATIONAL BUILDING
HOTEL BUILDING is designed as a regular cube with the floors. The ground floor is in the part of the complexs entry contact zone. This is where public joint facilities are located, such as a lobby, restaurant, coffee shop, kitchen plant and a technical part. The lobby is the link towards the wellness facilities as an integrative part of the hotel. Accommodation units are on the first floor 14 rooms and a suit. Besides the vertical communication zone on the first and second floor, there are areas of floor servicing and maintenance, as well as the cleaning ladies facilities. On the second floor, there are 4 rooms, 4 suits and a presidential suit. The hotel has two elevators, one is the main elevator, while the other is for the servicing and supply of the suits. The basement area is designed as a farming court-yard and reception of hotels supplies and servicing, as well as parking for the hotel guests.

the nature. The entire complex represents a regular entity clashing with the irregular and organic forms, e.g. plain roof surfaces softened by the wave of shiny metal above the hotel or other part of the glass room diamante above the medial building or by a longitudinal flow in the middle of the in-patient clinic. In its regularity, the faade screen also experiences the penetrations into the structure, glass moves outside the building. All these elements culminate in the organic glazed form of the recreational part of the building that suggests the link with the nature, peacefulness of the forest and recovery in the water and greenery oasis.

Besides the main communication axis on the west side, there is a building of irregular form for the purposes of wellness facilities and physical medicine and rehabilitation. These two parts are separated and function as independent groups. The wellness areas lean on hotel, with which they are linked by a connecting corridor. The wellness facilities have at disposal the pool areas with various water attractions, relaxing areas, different baths, saunas, gyms, massages, body care services areas, therapies and similar. These areas are on the ground floor. External faades are glazed, so that the majority of areas receive daily light and the visual contact with the landscape. On the ground floor area, with its own entrance, there is a part of physical therapy, more specifically hydrotherapy with the pool, therapy baths and four-cell baths, as well as dressing rooms and sanitary facilities. The part next to the entrance is a communication and free zone for relaxing besides the coffee shop. The link with the floor is by elevators and lifts. On the floor, there are other physical therapy facilities: electrotherapy, ultrasound, magnets, laser, kriotherapy, paraffin therapy, kineziotherapy hall, areas for physicians, as well as dressing rooms and sanitary facilities. A part of the area is an airy part of the pool hall extending to the two floors.

MAIN COMMUNICATION is designed as a wide street linking all buildings and facilities. One enters on the north side, from the external square in front of the building, passes the hotel, the main information stand, and reaches the internal square. Entries to the medical part are on both sides polyclinic part, and from the two squares, panoramic elevators lead to the first floor (diagnostic centre, surgery block and a daily hospital), as well as to the second floor coffee shop and a restaurant, administrative part and a scientific-research part. On the other side of the street, there is a green belt, which also enters the building, and through it, we reach the rehabilitation and wellness centre. The main communication street ends on the south part of the land parcel, taking us to the accommodation units. Besides entries into separate parts of the building, there are various other facilities pharmacy and drug store, shops (press, delicatessen and similar), coffee shop on the
