Manipal Hospitals, Bangalore
Project Brief
Manipal Hospital, Electronic City Phase 1 – Bangalore was envisioned as a state-of-the-art healthcare facility seamlessly blending functionality with healing aesthetics. The design focuses on patient-centric planning, ensuring intuitive navigation, natural light access, and optimized clinical workflows. The façade employs a clean, contemporary language with carefully chosen materials that reflect both permanence and warmth. Passive design strategies, such as strategic orientation and shading, improve energy efficiency while creating calming, well-ventilated interior environments. From a spatial standpoint, the hospital is not just a place for treatment—it’s a thoughtfully designed experience that supports wellness, staff efficiency, and future scalability.

“Recessed balconies and projections modulate façade rhythm and pedestrian scale. Layered cladding enhances visual depth.”
When a patient said it does not feel like a hospital……
The interior spaces are designed to feel warm, welcoming, and intuitive, drawing inspiration from high-end hospitality environments rather than traditional hospitals. A soft, neutral palette dominates - creams, warm taupes, muted greys, and natural wood tones - to create a soothing environment.
Accents of soft pastels and greenery introduce subtle visual interest, while natural textures like timber wall panels, stone cladding, and terrazzo flooring add tactility and warmth. Daylight is maximized through large windows, supplemented with warm, indirect artificial lighting. Ambient, layered lighting strategies define circulation paths, waiting areas, and treatment zones, enhancing both comfort and spatial clarity.
