Focus on child and parents
The mission of the Princess Máxima Center is to cure every child with cancer with optimal quality of life. The building is designed to support this goal. All attention is focused on the child and the family. A homely atmosphere ensures that children can feel at home and be children. In the parent-child room, the family can be together in a natural way. LIAG paid attention to aspects such as light, air, view, good acoustics and clear zoning to promote the healing process. The surrounding landscape is interwoven with the building. Greenery and daylight are everywhere, allowing young patients to experience the seasons, the weather and the rhythm of day and night.
