This large multi speciality hospital is situated
at the heart of Bahrain, and is intended to cater to a wide spectrum of people.
The facility comprises a total built up area of 80,000 sq.ft housing a wide array
of departments.
The design focused on creating invigorating
public areas within the hospital through the use of a vibrant material palette.
Way finding was also a critical aspect driving the design, and the various
zones of the hospital was designed to aid the visitor in orientating themselves
within the facility. A warm material palette was preferred in the patient rooms
to create a serene and calm ambience to aid in recovery.
The comfort of the visitor and the operational
needs of the staff drove all aspects of the design thus ensuring an efficient
facility.
