The hospital is placed on the outskirts of Puente Genil, beside A-318 regional road. There is an entry patio, slightly raised from the road and wrapped by cafeteria, management offices and the main hall. This is a long-linear hall enclosed by curtain walls with the staircases and lifts. Four linear blocks lean against the hall, each one destinated to a specific function: specialized consultations, radiology and clinical analysis, surgery and hospitalization. At the end of the corridor, emergency services and rehabilitation area, each one with its own access.
Circulation spaces and waiting areas were designed in contact with terraces, opened to the surrounding landscape or interior courtyards, with the intention of making more comfortable users stay.
