Institutional & Public Spaces Project : Charnock Hospital | Location : Kolkata

Hospital is a word which scares us. A negative vibes and panic is created in our mind with the thought of having our near ones in pain , so the basic concept we had in our mind was to change the outlook of people towards hospital with a positive environment and a hotel like ambience As the requirement was that it should not look like a hospital, we tried to give it a look and feel of a hotel. So we stayed away from the typical color palette and materials generally used in a hospital. We also tried to use low cost and low maintenance materials to make it cost effective and durable on constant rough use without compromising on medical aspects. We have used big windows for maximum daylight to sweep in to encourage significant energy saving and also for benefit of patient because the body and mind function best in an environment where the sun and daylight are present . Also the project site is located near airport in Kolkata. So a captivating view of the flight take off and landing is seen from the windows of the patient cabins. Also a flyover is located right in front of the building giving a view of the vehicles moving to and fro We have thoughtfully designed the lobby and waiting areas. We have used lots of picture frames with positive quotes to create a positive environment and cut outs of cartoon characters with captions to add element to the blank walls. We have also used statues made by local craftsmen by giving them pictures of real human being to give the reception and the waiting area an element of attraction and to distract them from negative thoughts making it unique from any other hospital ambience.
