The soft curved building provides an independent maternity garden, gynaecology garden, inpatient garden and even a sunken garden for the outdoors of the hospital. From the entrance, the obstetrics and gynecologists have their own circulation paths and do not interfere with each other. The well-arranged curves of the building bring a closer feeling to the sky garden which is located in the inner space of each floor.  
   
Professional surgery, ICU, and NICU is provided to guarantee the safety of childbirth. At the same time, is important to consider the other set of functions such as pre-delivery, delivery room, LDR delivery room, LDR-P delivery room, post-natal ward, VIP ward, etc. By this, Xiamen Humanity Maternity Hospital provides the full chain of services from pre-delivery all the way to post-natal rehabilitation and childcare growth. All these services have thoroughly taken into consideration the professionals and users well-being. Giving them as well as their companions’ privacy is essential for interiorizing each step during pregnancy and childbirth. For example, moments such as breastfeeding and gynecological examinations, mothers appreciate a more intimate space in where they can focus on themselves and not be overwhelmed by other activities taking place within the hospital. 

 
Advanced technologies have been integrated to maximize the building’s environmental factors; sunshine considerations, ventilation strategies, shading mechanisms and rainwater recovery are some of the processes that help improve its energy saving.

Its interior is rational and is designed with clear circulation and functional modules. The internal orthogonal modular design allows various medical functions to be easily replaced and developed, making it a flexible space that can adapt to future treatments.    

From the pre-delivery all the way to post-natal rehabilitation and childcare growth, the Xiamen Humanity Maternity Hospital provides the full chain of services, becoming a life theatre performance which celebrates the ceremony of life.
