Ship-Shaped Hospitals

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Vasily Klyukin is Set to Create the White Sails Hospital & Spa in Tunisia

— September 25, 2014 — Art & Design
The White Sails Hospital & Spa is a design conceived by the renown Vasily Klyukin, which takes on the look of a grandiose ship. However, even thought the structure looks like a yacht, it's actually meant for helping people with medical needs.

According to DesignBoom, the place is "envisioned as a medical facility and international clinic for patients to experience peace rather than fear." Oftentimes people coming into a hospital are already faced with a number of obstacles, so this design is meant to calm people and help in preparing them to face whatever challenges might come their way. One word that certainly comes to mind when looking at this design is luxurious, since it really looks like a grand yacht when observed from afar.
