Project Brief
Nestled in one of Bengaluru’s bustling suburbs, RCH Marathahalli was conceived to deliver a sanctuary of care for mothers and children. Through thoughtful space planning and empathetic interior environments, the design promotes healing, comfort, and operational clarity. Modular clinical zones are arranged intuitively, guiding both patients and staff seamlessly through the facility while promoting privacy and dignity.
Far from a typical hospital corridor, the interiors are infused with warmth and subtle architectural gestures—soft natural lighting, calm palettes, and efficient layout transitions. Each design decision aims to ease stress, reduce cognitive load, and enhance care.
The designed space is conceived as a gentle, flowing environment where curved walls guide patients and families through the space. Rather than rigid, clinical corridors, the plan follows soft arcs that naturally slow movement and create pockets for interaction. These rounded partitions—finished in smooth, low-sheen plaster—eliminate sharp edges, improving both child safety and wayfinding. Subtle curves also help acoustically, breaking up sound and lending a calm, organic rhythm to the floor. A warm wooden palette anchors the interior design.
“Where every curve comforts, every window welcomes — Rainbow Children's Hospital, building hope on a foundation of care."
