The concept of the Hospice as a home for the terminally ill is inspired by a small village defined by mountains in central Slovakia in Liptov called Vlkolinec. Vlkolinec, one of the World Heritage villages dating to the 14th century, is known for its well-preserved, medieval, and wooden architecture with the traditional features of European villages. The 45 log-built traditional houses refer to folk architecture and include a church, school, and a shop; the rest of the buildings are farmhouses. All buildings follow the same structure of stone footings, log walls coated with clay, timber construction, and a gable roof. The layout of the Hospice is based on the layout of the Vlkolinec village and is inspired by its placement of streets and houses. The space layout of the Hospice is divided into five different buildings, all connected through corridors and gardens. Each building is used for certain activities, including therapeutic rooms, a dining and kitchen, a library, a common area, and a small chapel. The chapel is placed in an area surrounded by fields and trees, where visitors can feel a disconnect from everything except nature. CLT-cross laminated timber is used for the new structure, using two different shades of wood that refer to the bottom part of the buildings of the traditional houses in color in Vlkolinec.
