MEASURED

Our vision is to create a contextually integrated urban environment that embodies the unique character of the locale while expressing a balanced relationship between built and green spaces. For this, we understood the major connecting axeses to the site. We identified two major axises: one connecting the greens and residential on the opposite edge to our site; and the other diagonal axis connecting the pedestrians from the metro. Apart from this, we identified the need to establish smaller connections to the future development and larger proposed greens.

The proposed 500-bed Multi-Speciality ESIC Hospital in Manesar, Haryana, is designed to cater to the healthcare needs of state workers in the region’s industrial hub. This ambitious project aspires to redefine the conventional imagery of hospital architecture by emphasizing warmth, comfort, and a welcoming environment. Hospitals are often perceived as stark, utilitarian spaces that can feel impersonal and intimidating. This design, however, seeks to challenge these preconceived notions, offering a paradigm shift in how healthcare buildings are envisioned and experienced. The goal is to create a space that not only provides state-of-the-art medical care but also fosters a sense of well-being and humanity.

SITE PLAN

GROUND FLOOR PLAN

The project site presents a unique challenge: it is bisected by an existing road, demanding a thoughtful and innovative design solution. Instead of seeing this division as a limitation, the design uses it as an opportunity to introduce a spatial intervention that enhances both connectivity and functionality.

A fire tender path is integrated into the layout, ensuring that the hospital adheres to stringent safety regulations while maintaining seamless circulation throughout the premises. This approach goes beyond mere compliance, demonstrating how thoughtful design can address practical constraints without compromising the spatial quality or aesthetic value of the project. The layout ensures that all areas of the hospital are easily accessible, promoting efficiency and reducing response times during emergencies.

The word “MOONGILI” is based on ‘Moongil’ , the Tamil word for Bamboo. The form revolves around the flow and curves of bamboo as a structural Material. The form is derived from a carefully curated set of sine curves with alternation of the curves on the opposite edge creating a continuous flow. The pavillion is divided into two blocks, Private Admin Block and the Public Experiectial Block, based on the area functions. The Experiential block encompasses the Grand triple-height Exhibition Area and the Gaming area opening towards the Roadside. The Display, Demo and Creative Areas open out in the lakeside.

Each of the niche created between the roof form and cutting plane is used as a Landscape element adding to the interest on the site.

The 5G Theater and Cafe at the ends of the Expereintial Block are treated as separately accessible spaces with its Grandeur. The 5G Theater opening to the roadside has a entry-exit to tackle the incoming crowd.

A mixed use Development for the Goa Devolopment Authority, with a built-up of 50000 sqm. The site faces the Zuari river and has excellent views to the dona paula beach. Taking advantage of the site vantage point, the design immerses the people into an experince of feeling the river through the narrow entrance which gradually opens up to a grand plaza with huge building bridges crossing overhead. The retail streets of the building engage crowds throughout the nights, keeping alive the tradition of the infamous Goa Night Markets. The offices can continue to function as a separate entity while still engaging with the conversation of the city.
