Multispeciality Neuro – Vihana Hospital

The Brief

Vihana Hospital required a multispeciality neuro facility that balanced clinical performance with a reassuring public face. The brief covered the architectural envelope, arrival sequence, signage zone, balcony-rooms and service-side circulation for an in-patient hospital with neuro, OPD, IPD, ICU and lab functions.

Design Response

FMDL designed a tightly composed street-front elevation: a textured-plaster mid-section book-ended by warm timber-slat screens above and below, with a recessed top-floor terrace shaded by a deep wooden soffit. The ground floor opens with full-height glazing, signed clearly as 'Uro-Stone Clinic + Patholab' and 'ICU, IPD, OPD and LAB', flanked by two illuminated red medical crosses for instant civic legibility. The gated forecourt — anchored by the VIHAANA HOSPITAL identity wall — establishes a calm, controlled arrival for patients and ambulances alike.

Materials & Approach

Micro-textured plaster facade, slatted teak-finish timber screens, wood-clad balcony fascias and soffits, full-height aluminium-framed glazing with tinted green-cast glass, illuminated red acrylic medical-cross signage, backlit green signage band, stone-clad gate piers with lantern-style sconces, and a perforated metal-and-timber boundary gate.

Outcome

A multispeciality neuro hospital that is immediately recognisable on the street, dignified by day, glowing and welcoming after dark — a calm healthcare envelope organised around clear public, patient and service zones.
