The weather. The farewell garden is a building structure where the roof opens fully towards the sky. In Lukashuset, family rooms offer areas for both privacy and togetherness, along with activity spaces that support play and reflection.

Specific areas feature a wild grass meadow, seasonal flowering plants, and gardens inspired by Danish natural landscapes. Inside, guests are welcomed by an open foyer with a view of lush courtyard gardens. A plethora of in-house perspectives allows us to see what none of us would be able to see on our own.

At the western end of Sankt Lukas Hospice, a farewell garden is placed within a woodland-inspired atrium, providing a peaceful space for final moments. The buildings will be surrounded by serene gardens and sensory spaces, extending the interior spaces outdoors to create a healing connection to nature.

A small step for each of us becomes a BIG LEAP for all of us. When invited to design the Serpentine Pavilion, BIG decided to work with one of the most basic elements of architecture: the brick wall. The changing of the seasons. Instead of the linear corridors of hospitals, we have created an environment of smaller buildings arranged around protected natural gardens.

A rainwater pond encourages biodiversity by attracting native flora and fauna, while benches and small niches along the pathways provide spaces for rest and reflection for patients, relatives, and staff. With plans to care for approximately 2, patients annually, the two new building structures will more than triple the current capacity, fostering an environment guided by three core principles — safety and a sense of home, solitude and togetherness, arrival and farewell.
