For the new building of the Gruyère hospital in Riaz, a pure color scheme was chosen. Patients and visitors enter the hospital from the north from a green meadow. The green-bluish, simple, finely and clearly structured façade and the green-blue mountains of the Gruyère in the background determine the exterior of the hospital. As a contrast, I have chosen strong, festive, warm and inwardly invigorating red tones for the entrance hall. In the following 4 floors there are next to the elevator each more color surfaces. They were modeled on the characteristics of each department and named with a name that emphasizes the color character.
