Neurocare Hammond
The new Satellite clinic for Neurocare of Louisiana represents its first application of a prototype design that will be replicated on various sites throughout the surrounding region. The design was heavily influenced by the imaging and branding already established by the original Neurocare headquarters facility located in Covington, Louisiana. For economy and mass production purposes, the building form is simple, consisting of a linear floor plate with a single sloped roof that transforms into a decorative perforated metal panel wall at the building entry. The perforated screen wall becomes a backdrop for the building signage, announcing entry while providing much-needed solar screening for the entry lobby. The exterior material palette consists of metal paneling, fiber cement lap siding, and fiber cement panel siding, accompanied by energy-efficient aluminum windows.
