Project overview

Located at Magdalenski Park's edge, the €11M Magdalena Health Center offers modern healthcare in a patient-focused design. Completing the urban block, it creates public spaces like a birch grove. Its facade balances precision and humanity, featuring natural light and tactile materials. The program blends clinics and community health, with an entrance linking the street and park, and potential for the future Taborska promenade.

Project history

Replacing an outdated facility, the project solved critical spatial shortages for primary care in Maribor. Our office won the open public architectural competition organized by ZAPS. It was co-financed by the Municipality of Maribor, ZD dr. Adolfa Drolca, Mariborske lekarne, and the Ministry of Health. Construction in a dense urban environment delivered a modern, highly accessible community anchor. Designed with patient experience at its core, the building seamlessly links urban public space with healing environments. The public ground floor connects streets to a green platform, creating an inviting threshold. Upper levels organize general medicine, pediatrics, gynecology, and labs around an internal atrium, providing calm, daylit clinical spaces. The project significantly improves working conditions for staff and expands access to healthcare for over 9,000 residents, strengthening the social fabric and spatial quality of the Magdalena district and the broader city.
