SINGAPORE’ S KHOO TECK PUAT HOSPITAL
LOCATION: SINGAPORE
HEAD OF INTERNATIONAL SUSTAINABILITY PROMOTION: DAVID SWEENEY
CONSTRUCTION COMPANY: PENTA-OCEAN CONSTRUCTION
COST: US $ 800M
NOTABLE FEATURE: DESIGNED AS A“ HOSPITAL IN A GARDEN” WITH EXTENSIVE GREENERY
Teck Puat Hospital breaks the mould of utilitarian, resource-intensive healthcare environments. With gardens integrated into nearly every floor, it brings therapeutic nature into patients’ daily lives, supporting faster recovery and better mental health. Passive design features, such as natural ventilation and strategically placed openings, reduce the hospital’ s energy use significantly. Rainwater is collected and reused for irrigation, and the landscaping is designed to support local biodiversity. This patientcentred approach proves that healthcare and sustainability can thrive side by side, making the hospital not just a place of treatment, but a sanctuary of healing.
