This 58,660-square-meter hospital designed by Paris-based Philippe Gazeau Architects will consist of the construction of a new cluster of medical surgical facilities for mother and children and the reconstruction of the site landscaping (15,460 square meters of which 10,000 square meters for the garden in natural ground).
10,000-square-meter ground will be constructed. On top, two rectangular volumes will be built. These two boxes will be connected by a footbridge. The first volume will be located in crossroads Duroc (carrefour Duroc) at the angle of rue de Sèvre. It will be comprised of a pleated solar thermal glass double-facade to protect against solar heat and glare. Philippe Gazeau has been asked to respect historical patrimony of the Necker Hospital site. Consequently this new volume will respect the structure of the site.

| Projected site © Philippe Gazeau Architects > Comparing with the existing site plan, a 10,000-square-meter garden will be implanted in center of the hospital block. A central alley will connect rue Vaugirard and rue de Sèvre (Vaugirard street and Sèvre street) to open up the hospital block to its surrounding. |
This facade will be covered with vegetation as required by the Office of Mayor of Paris of the 15th arrondissement. This facade will be treated as vertical garden. Glass panels will be placed over the green wall to create a green double-skin.
The other building's façade, located in rue de Sèvre, will consist of a double printed translucent glass skin wrapping the curtain-wall. This double-skin will diffuse natural light into the rooms of patients.

It will gather biomedical engineering (medical imaging), 15 operating rooms, SAMU (mergency medical services in France) and Emergency. This structure for mothers and children will also be composed of 400 beds and cradles.
As required by the master plan, 10,000-square-meter garden will be created in the center of the hospital block site as an integrated system that involves the hospital block.
