To a child, trips to the physician can be a terrifying challenge, but even a simple picture or familiar animal could help relieve that worry. That's why the appropriately known as Giraffe Childcare Center designed by Hondelatte Laporte Architectes is just what the physician requested. The kids hospital features three different cement animals embedded into the framework to enhance both the kids' day and the surrounding urban architecture.
The hospital's menagerie has a massive yellow-colored giraffe (which has since become its symbol due to its exposure from all angles), a polar bear, and a few ladybugs going up the over part of the building's facade. The creatures are integrated into the framework normally as visitors must walk through the giraffe's feet to get into the center. Though, these exclusive sculptures aren't the only amazing aspect of this style. The building has also been granted the “zéro Energie Effinergie” for its focus on green energy and enhancement. All around this is an amazing and exclusive hospital exemplifying smart design.
