HOSPITAL DESIGN
HEALTH CARE ARCHITCETURE
Academic Project- 6th Sem
Individual work
Project Scope:
Project Location- Marine Drive, Mumbai
This academic design project focuses on the development of hospital situated along the iconic Queen’s Necklace on Marine Drive, Mumbai. The design is characterized by three distinct blocks interconnected through bridges, a thoughtful arrangement that ensures efficient segregation of critical care units from non-critical areas. This innovative layout not only optimizes the functional flow but also enhances the safety and health environment within the hospital, effectively minimizing the risk of disease transmission.
The primary aim of this project was to create a patient-friendly environment that prioritizes safety and health. There is a segregation of every zones based on the level of criticality, ensuring an organized layout that prevents contamination and also supports easy wayfinding. This approach not only contributes to a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere but also instills hope and confidence in patients, reinforcing the hospital’s commitment to providing superior care and treatment.

RE:NEW CARE
The front of the site faces the sea and features a pleasant 24-meterwide road. On the opposite sides of the site there are open playgrounds and training practice spaces for police marshals. At the rear of the site, there is a railway track that was needed to be considered during planning due to potential noise pollution and the risk of slight building vibrations.

MUSEUM DESIGN
SOCIOCULTURAL ARCHITECTURE
Academic Project- 5th Sem
Individual work
Project Scope:
Project Location- Mohali, Chandigarh
The project focuses on the concept of integrating the natural surroundings with the built structure in a manner that allows visitors to experience the beauty of nature while inside the buildings. The site has been divided along two axes: a sunken courtyard running throughout the length of the site along the longer axis, and a OAT along the shorter axis. This design provides visitors with unobstructed views from one end of the site to the other.
The primary objective was to draw and engage a larger number of people to the museum, encouraging them to explore and appreciate Punjab’s art and culture through temporary exhibitions and interactive activities conducted outside the museum premises. The project encompasses various buildings, each dedicated to different activities. These include an Auditorium, Skill Development Centers, Museum Halls, a Public Library, Residential Apartments, and an Office Building, among others.
At the heart of the museum building, there is a central staircase that facilitates a natural flow of movement and serves as a focal point, capturing the essence of the structure.
