Building images, Apr 2008:

In hospice design, the architect's finest task is to create surroundings
which will provide the best possible conditions to promote quality of
life, respect and a dignified death. Djursland Hospice is first and foremost
a building within a landscape. No matter where you go in the building
- the reception area, the garden of the senses, the atriums, the staff
room, the lounge, the reflection room or the patient rooms - the beautiful
landscape is always present.

We have aimed to create a very humane building; by which we mean a building
which is not an institution, but rather a home which provides adequate
physical and mental space for those who will live there in their final
time, as well as for their relatives and the staff.

The common materials used are copper, oak and glass, which interact beautifully
and naturally with the landscape and provide a sense of warmth in the
rooms.
