In April 1947, the Dr. Behçet Uz Hospital was built after a fire burned Izmir when the Turkish military troops visited.

Hikmet Gökmen restored the building and reorganized and updated the surrounding environment to fit modern needs.

The hospital is built out of 4 story blocks which join together in a rectangular leaving an atrium in the center.

The same rectangular geometric form repeats itself in openings on the exterior facade following modern aspects in architecture.

The roof structure is red tile patterned with an angle and similar characteristics to the surrounding public buildings to catch the harmony of them.
