The conception and design of a Medical Destination is based on five principles

1	The Purpose of the Medical Destination
	Each structure has it’s own purpose and philosophy, which will define the type and the size of the structure, the type of treatments, the services, as well as all of the amenities and specifics of this Medical Destination to be. The expression of this purpose is the first principle in the design process.
2	The Owners’ Vision
	When deciding to create or redesign a Medical Destination, the owners want it to be perfect. This perfection is subject to his/her vision, including the specialization of the treatments, as well as the tastes, feelings, experiences, dreams, desires,etc, of the targeted clientele. The expression of these elements creates an image, which becomes part of the design process.
3	The Guest’s Experience
	When guests come to a Medical Destination, their strongest bond with this specific destination is the defined balance between his/her expectations and experience while there. This experience is based on the services quality as well as on the feeling created by the space conception and the interior design of the Medical Destination.

Building codes can also limit the “can do”.
