RWTH Aachen University Hospital – Franziskus opts for quality “made in Germany” for patient rooms
At the RWTH Aachen University Hospital – Franziskus, a highly qualified and experienced team of doctors and nurses works day and night using cutting-edge medicine and exceptional patient care to ensure the convalescence and well-being of patients. The mission statement of RWTH Aachen University Hospital – Franziskus centres around human care, appreciation and commitment. To make patients’ time spent in the hospital as pleasant as possible, the single and double rooms are designed in a friendly and modern style. Large windows bring natural light into the rooms and offer a delightful view of courtyards adorned with flowers or beautiful landscapes.
In the newly designed rooms, a comfortable atmosphere is put front and centre. During the planning phase, partner kliniq interior consult placed particular emphasis on quality and design to create a pleasant atmosphere for convalesce. The soft, natural colours of the interior emanate calm and cosiness. The bright and friendly furnishings, wood-look room doors and furniture elements, and fabric curtains make the hospital feel more like home.
The bathrooms adjoining the patient rooms offer tasteful features and high-quality furnishings that combine modern elements and a pleasant atmosphere.
Equipped with KEUCO fittings, accessories and cosmetic mirrors in matt black, the accessible bathrooms are designed for ease of patient use coupled with a sophisticated appearance. The matt black surfaces stand out beautifully from the light wall design, creating an accentuated and stylish ambience.
The IXMO PURE single lever basin mixer, PLAN CARE sanitiser dispenser, integrated PLAN INTEGRAL paper towel dispenser, PLAN hair dryer and iLook_move cosmetic mirror, all in matt black, create a harmonious look at the washbasin, with its generous surface space. EDITION 11 towel hooks round off the features.
The round iLook_move cosmetics mirror from KEUCO, with five-times magnification and LED all-round lighting, enables a close-up look at the face. Thanks to innovative hinge technology, the cosmetic mirror can be adjusted in height, moved to the side or tilted. Also ideal for use while seated.
In the accessible wet area, patients shower using the innovative IXMO thermostatic mixer, which combines several functions in a small space. This enhances the aesthetics and improves the ease of maintenance. The hand shower and shower head provide maximum showering comfort. The IXMO fitting combines a stop and diverter valve for the shower head and hand shower, hand shower bracket and wall outlet for shower hose in a single module and is particularly easy for patients to operate. The perfect water temperature can be set with ease using the thermostat.
The AXESS grab bar ensures safety in the shower. The spacious KEUCO shower basket offers space for shower utensils.
The focus was also on patient comfort and safety when it came to the toilet area design. The EDITION 11 toilet paper holder and the spare paper holder are mounted at an optimal height. The elegant KEUCO AXESS drop down supporting rail and the AXESS railing system, Design by Studio F. A. Porsche, help to give patients with disabilities independence. Despite high stability when holding and supporting, the design appears light and elegant, But the design is also remarkable because of its high ergonomic quality.
The special feature of the AXESS drop down supporting rail: when folded up, it sits flat against the wall and is barely recognisable as a drop down supporting rail. Folded down, it is an attractive and elegant solution that provides the necessary support.
In addition to their timeless and sophisticated design, all KEUCO products feature easy-to-clean properties with clear contours and straight lines. The exceptionally spacious and modern bathrooms in the rooms at RWTH Aachen University Hospital – Franziskus demonstrate how safety and comfort can be visually appealing.
