RWTH Aachen University Hospital - Franziskus relies on quality for patient rooms
4 min read
The newly remodelled rooms focus on creating an atmosphere of well-being. During the planning phase, the partner, kliniq interior consult, placed particular emphasis on quality and design to create a pleasant atmosphere for convalescence.
The soft, natural colours of the interior radiate peace and comfort. The bright and friendly furnishings, room doors and furniture elements with wooden look, and the fabric curtains make your stay in hospital more home-like.
The bathrooms in the patient rooms are tastefully furnished and equipped to a particularly high standard, combining modern elements with a pleasant atmosphere.
The barrier-free bathrooms were fitted with KEUCO fittings, accessories and cosmetic mirrors in a matt black finish and offer patients comfortable handling in a stylish design. The matt black surfaces contrast beautifully with the light-coloured wall design, creating an accentuated and stylish ambience.
The IXMO PURE single-lever basin mixer, the PLAN CARE disinfectant dispenser, the integrated PLAN INTEGRAL paper towel dispenser, the PLAN hair dryer and the iLook_move cosmetic mirror, all in matt black, create a harmonious look at the washbasin with its generous countertop space. EDITION 11 towel hooks complete the fittings.
The round iLook_move cosmetic mirror from KEUCO with fivefold magnification and surrounding LED lighting enables a crystal clear reflection. Thanks to innovative hinge technology, the cosmetic mirror can be adjusted in height, from left to right, and in inclination. Also ideal for use while seated.
In the barrier-free wet area, patients shower with the innovative IXMO thermostatic fitting, which combines several functions in a very small space. This enhances the aesthetic value and ease of maintenance. Hand and head shower ensure optimum showering comfort. The IXMO fitting combines stop and diverter valve for shower head and hand shower, and a hand shower bracket and hose connection in just one module and is particularly easy for patients to use.
The optimum water temperature can be conveniently adjusted using the thermostat. The AXESS grab bar provides security in the shower. In the generously-sized KEUCO shower basket there is space for shower utensils.
Even around the toilet, the convenience and safety of the patient was not forgotten. The EDITION 11 toilet paper holder and the spare paper holder are mounted at the ideal height.
At the WC the premium KEUCO AXESS drop-down supporting rail and AXESS rail system, designed by Studio F. A. Porsche, help patients with disabilities support themselves and retain their independence. Despite its ample strength for holding and supporting, the design still radiates grace and elegance. But the design is also remarkable for its high ergonomic quality.
The special thing about the AXESS drop-down supporting rail: When folded up, it lies flat against the wall and is barely recognisable as support rail. But even when folded down it retains its beautiful and elegant qualities, and still offers the necessary support.
In addition to their timeless and elegant design, all KEUCO products are characterised by their easy-to-clean properties with clear contours and straight lines. The exceptionally spacious and modern bathrooms in the rooms at the University Hospital RWTH Aachen - Franziskus show just how visually appealing safety and comfort can be designed.
