I  chose to quickly develop _02 because I provides the formal language of the intersecting slab. The Slab varies in thickness based on necessity and then can literally disintegrate at the edges allowing for vegetation from the gardens bellow to rise through to the next floor.
This method also allows for the control of light entering the floor bellow. The progressive disintegration also creates a natural barrier from the edge.
In the first image I started to investigate how the grid can be broken to create larger outdoor balconies in the private clinic. The heights of the vertical slabs also vary to to vary depth. This scenario shows the descent from the balcony via a ramp next to what is intended to be a private pool  to  a private garden. ( This is just a graphic sketch - its a bit hard to read).
I know it is a simple grid at the movement  but I think that this type of language makes sense with the idea of the sterility of the hospital slab - also starting points have always been 'basic elements' - Slab, column..ect..grid? It also works with the staking of the different floors to create a moire effect that allows the very generic to be read as extremely complex (in plan only at the moment). I image  steam rising from the genericish grid of the public hospital in the same way is rises from a sewer grid in a city street...? Its a bit dark side but...that can be ok..?
Feed back on if this is the right direction would be super helpful.
I have not frogotten the triptic or the slab plate  - I am really excited about pushing that direction and I have lots of ideas but I need some thing to work with....
