Herz希望通过弧线形式来提升空间的舒适度。建筑师运用弧线砖石走道让新旧建筑连接在一起，并且新建筑的形态也与旧建筑相呼应。扩建部分包含住院部和妇产科，光滑的弧线形式将建筑的室内外空间很好地相连，这样一来，病患的家庭成员就能够在外部空间中休息，而不会打扰到病房中的病人。
Herz’s design seeks to improve patient comfort by bringing a sense of coherence to the structure. A curvilinear brick extension will connect to the existing hospital by a covered pathway, referencing the circular typology of the existing building. Housing pediatric and maternity clinics, the new structure will create a smooth circulation route with niches between rooms and exterior spaces where families can rest away from busy hospital wards.

建筑的形式与材质都具有环保性，砖石相互组合，并且在彼此之间留有一定的距离，这样能够促进建筑的交叉通风与空气循环。建筑的双屋面覆盖着主要的扩建体量，让建筑能够遮蔽在投影之中，同时通过烟囱将室内的热量排出。
The form and materiality of the scheme have been designed with environmental performance in mind, with narrow widths and lattice-like brickwork combining to aid cross ventilation and air circulation. A second roof covers the primary extension, giving additional shade to areas most exposed to the sun while creating a chimney effect to draw heat away from the interior.

建筑的扩建部分呼应场地特征，并且建筑的施工也不需要砍伐过多的树木，建筑师将建筑与景观相融合，为使用者带来更多的绿化空间，让他们能够在树荫之下休息与乘凉。整个项目十分强调空间的舒适性与功能性，Herz认为，设计方案“将成为塞内加尔与非洲大陆医疗机构的一大典范”。
该工程将于2018年9月正式施工。
