Orthopedics & Trauma Surgery

For the Orthopedics and Trauma Surgery practice at Bismarckplatz in Krefeld, the collaboration began with what was initially a relatively modest assignment: designing the entryway for a new MRI machine. It quickly became apparent, however, that the practice offered far greater potential for a forward-looking restructuring. The initial conceptual and design planning evolved into a comprehensive master plan spanning three floors—including the renovation of the practice on the first floor, the redesign of the basement for the MRI scanner, and the preparation of the second floor for a future surgical wing. Vivamo is responsible for the design, construction supervision, and coordination of all trades involved.

The first major construction phase on the first floor has now been completed; the photos show this first important milestone. We are particularly proud that these measures were implemented without a single full day of closure.

The basement is currently undergoing renovation. During the planning phase, it became apparent that the basement is at risk when the groundwater level is very high and must therefore be completely gutted and sealed against rising groundwater. In addition, the MRI machine will be installed via the terrace, and the X-ray and CT areas will be relocated within the building.

At the same time, initial preparations are already underway for the future operating room area on the second floor. Step by step, a modern practice is taking shape that combines functional workflows, high-quality design, and optimal conditions for patients and the practice team.
