Construction News Image
Dublin-based commercial furniture and interiors firm Designflow Spielmann's has secured a €25m contract for a landmark hospital fit out for the President’s Hospital project in Astana the capital of Kazakhstan.

This is the first joint project won following the merger of Designflow with German company Spielmann's Officehouse, in October, and is a significant success for the firm.

It is major coup for the firm's specialist hospital team, which beat of stiff competition from a number of European competitors.

The two hundred bed President's Hospital is a joint venture between the national government's of the Republic of Kazakhstan and the Federal Republic of Germany, as well as the regional government of the State of Bavaria.

This landmark project is being developed by the Dr Hein Group to bring Germany quality health care to the oil rich state.

Robert Trench, Managing Director of Designflow Spielmann's, said: "The winning of this tender is a huge success for our group in what is a key sector for the company. This is a landmark international project that will bring best practice in medical care to the heart of Kazakhstan’s health system.

"The standard of the hospital will be exceptional; it is being described as a 'lighthouse project' that is designed to be a model for the development of similar facilities in the region."

The hospital received planning permission from the Mayor of Astana in July 2008 and is due to be operational in 2011.

In January Designflow Spielmann's moved into their new offices in Fumbally Square, Dublin 2.

They have also recently finished the fit out of Volkswagen's new Irish headquarters on the Liffey Valley.
