UCCI Estrela
Description
The UCCI Estrela project involves the rehabilitation of the former Military Hospital of Estrela, located on Rua de Santo António à Estrela in Lisbon, to accommodate a new Integrated Continuing Care Unit (UCCI). Respecting the building’s historic and heritage value, the intervention combines modern technical solutions with a functional approach oriented to the delivery of high-quality healthcare.
The proposal requalifies the existing building, adapting it to contemporary requirements and promoting a balance between comfort, efficiency and technology. With areas dedicated to medical services, inpatient care and support spaces, the design organises internal flows clearly, ensuring functionality and optimising the experience of users and professionals.
The intervention also includes significant improvements to the building’s thermal and acoustic performance, introducing insulation systems and high-quality finishes selected to ensure durability and sustainability.
