Area : 4 acres
Location : SEEB, Oman
Status : Ongoing
Project team : Kartik Surya, Swetha Suresh, Noel Johnson, Venugopal CK
Located in the second largest city of Oman,
this upcoming project aims at establishing itself as a prime healthcare service
provider in Oman. The facilities accommodated include a 70 bed Multi Speciality
Hospital, a 100 bed Post Acute care and Rehabilitation Centre, a standalone Oncology
Centre, a 300 student Nursing and Para Medical College with Conference
facilities and a Simulation Lab, Student Dorms and Residential Apartments for
the Doctors.
The design aimed at creating a physical
identity for the project to establish a brand presence in the urbanscape, while
ensuring efficient operational flows between the various functions. Green zones
serve as lung spaces between the buildings and enhance the user experience by
providing moments of respite within the built environment. Immense care was
taken to ensure that pedestrian and vehicular movement was segregated thus
allowing seamless movement through both mediums.
