Greenfield Hospital Architecture & Master Planning
Site & Medical Planning
- Strategic Massing: Block orientation to maximize natural light and passive cooling while preserving existing terrain.
- Medical Zoning: Detailed separation of Sterile (OTs/ICU), Semi-Sterile, and Public areas.
- Flow Design: Creation of distinct circulation paths for patients, staff, and waste to prevent cross-contamination.
Structural & Facade Engineering
- Universal Grid System: Structural design based on 10m x 10m modules using steel or composite structures for future flexibility.
- Biophilic Facade: Design of external envelopes using terracotta cladding or performance glazing with vertical green skins.
- Sustainability: Solar orientation and rainwater harvesting planning for GRIHA or LEED healthcare ratings.
Compliance & Documentation
- Statutory Drawings: Preparation of sanction drawings for MOEF, Fire, and local municipal approvals.
- MEP Coordination: High-level planning for HVAC (100% fresh air systems) and Medical Gas Pipeline Systems (MGPS).
- Construction Documentation: Extensive Good For Construction (GFC) drawings for civil, facade, and basic finishing.
Healthcare Interior Design & Wayfinding
Patient & Clinical Zones
- Room Detailing: Design of patient headwalls with med-gas integration and attendant furniture zones.
- Nurse Stations: Centralized monitoring hubs using solid surface materials (Corian) for hygiene and durability.
- Infection Control Finishes: Specification of anti-bacterial laminates, low-VOC paints, and seamless vinyl flooring (Gerflor/Armstrong standards).
Public Spaces & Navigation
- Transition Zones: Acoustic paneling and indirect lighting in corridors to reduce glare for patients on stretchers.
- Wayfinding Strategy: Design of environmental graphics, signage, and color-coded floor strips to aid visitor navigation.
- Lobby Design: Heavy-duty furniture selection and integration of biophilic art elements for waiting areas.
Technical Integration
- Lighting Systems: Circadian rhythm lighting plans (tunable white light) for patient recovery areas.
- Services Concealment: False ceiling coordination to hide heavy HVAC ducting and fire sprinklers while maintaining clear heights.
High-Acuity Wing & Technical Expansion
Radiation & Imaging Infrastructure
- Bunker Design: Concrete thickness calculations and layouts for LINAC/Cyberknife bunkers in coordination with medical physicists.
- Diagnostic Zones: Layouts for MRI/CT scan rooms including RF shielding details and magnetic field containment.
- OT Complexes: Modular Operation Theatre wall paneling layouts, laminar airflow ceiling coordination, and scrub station detailing.
Structural Engineering
- Load Analysis: Retrofit calculations for existing columns/slabs to support heavy medical equipment.
- Vibration Control: Detailing of floor isolation systems to protect sensitive imaging equipment from building movement.
Integration Planning
- Brownfield Connection: Design of connection corridors to ensure seamless transition between old buildings and new high-tech wings.
- Compliance: Adherence to IAEA guidelines for radiation safety and specific norms for oncology centers.
About Healthcare Facility Design
Spaces That Heal, Not Just House
We’ve been designing buildings for India since 1989, and for us, a hospital is way more than just walls and beds. We look at every healthcare project as a chance to create healing environments in hospitals - places where stress can take a backseat and comfort steps forward. It’s about empathy, clarity, and making sure everyone feels cared for, not just treated.
How We Make It Work
- Nature indoors: We love bringing in greenery, natural light hospital architecture, and open courtyards. It’s not just for show - it genuinely helps people feel better, faster.
- The in-between bits: Corridors and lobbies matter. We use soothing colours, daylight, and layouts that actually make sense, so folks don’t get lost or feel overwhelmed.
- Flow and clarity: Hospitals can be confusing. We lean on colour-coded floors and clear paths to make navigation easy, cutting down on anxiety for everyone.
What We Build
We’ve worked on everything from huge multi-specialty campuses to modular healthcare infrastructure that can grow as the community needs more. We go deep with cancer care, maternity, paediatrics, and interiors that keep the healing vibe alive in every corner.
A Bit of Us
It’s not just a job - it’s seva. We’re proud to shape spaces that serve people, whether that’s a 20-story oncology hospital with patient-centric hospital design, or a health city inspired by the seven chakras. For us, building for health is a responsibility we take to heart.

My Story
Started out in '89, and honestly, we’re more than just architects now – we’re Edificians. Our studio’s got its own vibe: there’s mentorship, loads of long chats, and yes, some marathon workdays. But we break it up with sports, festivals, and good food – Onam sadhya, Ganesh Chaturthi aarti, you name it. For us, work isn’t just about buildings, it’s about building our own tribe.
My Work
All-Round Design Services - We do Workplace, Healthcare, Residential, Hospitality, Retail, Cultural, and Urban projects. Pretty much everything.
Design That Listens - Every site’s got its own story. Like brick Jaali self-shading in Rajasthan, or keeping Vizag’s trees and slopes.
Rooted in Sustainability - Net-positive energy buildings aren’t just a buzzword for us. We use our own Design Sustainability Matrix to measure real impact.
Future-Ready Spaces - Universal grid planning lets us expand campuses in phases, so nothing gets stuck or disrupted.
Human-Centric Communities - Built a housing project with an elevated pedestrian park – it’s all about spaces for people to pause, meet, connect.
