The San Salvador Military Hospital for 250 beds consists of three separate wings containing wards for officers, their families, and other ranks respectively. They are loosely connected to allow the breeze to flow through the whole complex. A traffic tower containing stairs and elevators is located in the centre of the triangular layout, connected by bridges to the wards on the upper floors, and the medical facilities and services on the lower floors. The project aims at creating - out of loosely connected building wings - an architectural entity, adapted to the subtropical climatic conditions and suiting the specific medical needs.
