Mithun Hospital is a 50-bed medical centre built on a tight urban site, designed with a focus on empathy, efficiency, and natural comfort. Spread across a G+4 structure with a floor plate of just 2,500 sq. ft, the design navigates space constraints by layering functions vertically and ensuring each department operates with clarity and privacy.
The ground floor accommodates the emergency and entrance zone, allowing quick access for critical care. Above, the first floor houses the outpatient department with consultation rooms, a day-care facility, and labs. The second floor is dedicated to surgical and intensive care functions, with two operating theatres, an ICU, CSSD, and a minor OT paired with a labour ward. Patient rooms occupy the upper levels, each designed to maximise daylight and create a calming ambience through compact yet airy planning. The colour palette reflects the hospital’s identity, chosen to be warm and reassuring rather than clinical. The terrace is reserved for essential building services, freeing the interiors for patient-focused spaces.
Externally, the façade is clad in linear red bricks, lending the building an approachable, almost domestic warmth. The use of natural light and ventilation was a guiding principle, softening the intensity of a hospital setting and turning spatial limitations into opportunities for thoughtful, humane design.
