The Reception Areas welcome patients and their families into bright, open spaces designed to bring comfort and reassurance throughout the clinical journey.

Filled with natural light and overlooking gardens and reflecting pools, these spaces foster a calm and restorative atmosphere that supports wellbeing.

Carefully framed views also provide glimpses into the Champalimaud Foundation’s research areas, offering a subtle reminder that scientific discovery and clinical care take place side by side.

By combining openness, nature and transparency, the Reception Areas embody the Champalimaud Foundation’s commitment to patient-centred design, creating an environment that improves the patient’s experience.
