Clínica Lescer
- New build
- Healthcare
- Sustainability
The Lescer Rehabilitation Clinic is located in the Hortaleza district, on the outskirts of Madrid. It is conceived as a modern, functional and fully accessible centre, designed to provide comprehensive care for patients requiring physical, neurological, occupational and psychological rehabilitation treatments.
A modern and environmentally responsible healthcare facility has been created, aligned with best practices in sustainability and energy efficiency, earning the LEED Gold Healthcare certification. All of this is achieved while incorporating building systems that support the use of advanced medical technology.

Adaptation to the terrain and structural safety
The project addressed variations in the subsoil and the natural slopes of the terrain through detailed geotechnical studies and deep foundation works. Ground levelling, drainage and moisture‑control tasks were also carried out to ensure the building’s durability and stability.
-
Spaces centred on patient wellbeing
The project focused on creating comfortable and accessible environments that promote user recovery and wellbeing. The spaces were designed to be therapeutically efficient, integrating natural light, ventilation and user‑friendly circulation areas.

LEED Gold Healthcare certification
Comprehensive waste management and the integration of efficient technologies earned the project the LEED Gold certification in the healthcare category, highlighting its sustainability excellence.
Bioclimatic and sustainable architecture
- Natural light, cross‑ventilation and solar control
- Rainwater collection and reuse system
- Use of low‑environmental‑impact materials
- Therapeutic green areas that promote wellbeing and reduce the heat‑island effect
Coordination between construction and building systems engineering teams
- As a hospital building, the project required the integration of highly specialised electromechanical and biomedical systems, such as medical gas networks, precision climate control, high‑purity hydraulic systems and redundant electrical systems for therapy and diagnostic equipment.
Ensuring functionality, environmental integration and architectural quality
- The project addressed the challenge of integrating terrain conditions with structural requirements and specialised medical building systems, while incorporating significant sustainability elements. All of this was achieved while maintaining medical functionality, comfort, accessibility and architectural quality.
