    The proposed design is for a green hospital located near a lake and eco-park. It utilizes biophilic design concepts to promote healing and recovery through natural elements like daylight, views of nature, and indoor plants. The three-winged design allows for optimal natural ventilation and lighting. Sustainable features include solar panels, rainwater harvesting, and an STP system. Landscaped courtyards and terraced gardens further enhance the healing environment through greenery and outdoor spaces. The goal is to create a serene, eco-friendly setting that reduces patient stress and speeds recovery.

    CONCEPT:
     The healthcare industry is one of the major contributors in accelerating many
    environmental problems due to the excessive use of hazardous products, toxic
    chemicals and medical technologies which emit harmful radiations. Hospitals
    face many challenges related to environmental sustainability such as – use of
    renewable resources, reduction in carbon footprint, waste disposal, energy
    and water efficiency and the use of chemical substances. The concept of
    green healthcare is very important for the long term sustainability.
    “A green hospital is one that aims to be environmental friendly, utilizes
    renewable resources, reduces waste by implementing green practices and
    enhances patient well-being.” 
    Advantages of establishing green hospitals-
    •Improves quality of care
    •Faster patient recovery time thereby reducing the length of the
    stay in the hospital
    •Employees are motivated and hence improve their quality of
    work
    •Reduction in operation cost by optimum consumption of power
    and water
    •Improvement in  the overall hospital performance
    USE OF BIOPHILIC CONCEPT IN THE INTERIORS!
    Healthcare spaces: post-operative rates of recovery reduced by 8.5%,
    reduced pain medication by 22% by using biophilic effect

    1. Good ventilation to reduce the spread of infectious disease; fresh air


    passing over the skin also has stress reduction qualities.

    2. Optimise lighting by using natural light to reduce patients length of stay,


    stress, pain, depression and need for medication and reducing staff’s
    exposure to high-intensity surgical lights which can cause retinal damage.

    3. Provide views of nature to improve emotional well-being, reduce fear,


    anxiety, pain, stress and even levels of medication.

    4. Create hospital gardens to provide views of nature, reduce stress and


    improve access to social support, satisfaction with quality of care and
    sanctuary from clinical environment.

    5. Use nature and natural materials in the interior design to make the
    hospital environment more comfortable, aesthetically pleasing, informative,
    relieve stress and increase satisfaction by renovating the layout, colour
    scheme, furniture, floor covering, curtains and information displays and
    materials. This will improve patient perception and satisfaction with
    Design Evolution:
    ● Initially we experimented with more of angular forms for the sake of good view
    of lake and eco-park ,which apparently didn’t work for us when it came to
    interior spaces.

    ● Later, after experimenting with several forms we freezed to a form where we


    divided the spaces to 3 different parts, the centre part is raising up to 7 floors and
    the buildings at the side going up to 3 floors.
    *Use of panels which have
    nature related pictures.
    Our major considerations:

    1. Best efforts to make the hospital eco-friendly.


    2. Healing with nature is our main motto, views of the nature outside helps heal
    faster, hence rooms are located on higher floors to get better views.
    3. Extensive use of courtyards to bring in natural light and ventilation and also to
    cut down unnecessary use of electricity.
    4. Use of STP systems and also rain water harvesting along with solar panels on
    the roof, to make the building energy efficient.
    5. Use of biophilic designing in the interiors

    Sharing rooms with biophilic effect *Inspiration from mother baby

    Form development! What comes first and
    What we get at the end.
    *Balconies at higher level for the view *Terrace gardens with plants, creepers ,pergolas
    of lake and Eco park. and seating.

    *Use of solar panels on cafe rooftop

    *Shaded balconies, designed according to


    climatic conditions.
