Columbia Asia Hospital, Sarjapur Road

The floor finishes of Columbia Asia Hospital,Sarjapur Road, Bengaluru, were carefully selected for aesthetic value, functionality and durability. The selections are a neutral palette with splashes of colour in pockets. 

Lobby and reception: The reception area primarily uses marble simulating larger slabs of vitrified tiles. Vitrified tiles have the ease of maintenance in public spaces and also allow flexibility in replacement later. Waiting area pockets are created using carpet tiles to bring in some vibrancy and softness to the space. It carries a language of blues and whites in textures

Patient waiting area: Flooring for the patient waiting area varies floor wise. Says Amrita Phookun, Senior Architect, Kgd-architecture, “In outpatient areas, a concept similar to the reception is followed wherein a combination of vitrified tiles and carpet is used. In the clinical and diagnostic area waiting, homogeneous vinyl flooring is used in two shades forming linear patterns.”

Diagnostic area: The flooring for the diagnostic area iclutter free and uses two shades of homogeneous vinyl in linear patterns.

Doctor consultation room: The consultation rooms are designed to very utilitarian for this facility. Vitrified tiles have been used in the flooring for ease of maintenance and durability in the same palette as the rest of the facility.

Patient rooms: Homogeneous vinyl flooring has been used in all patient rooms. “Neutral shade of base vinyl with controlled use of vibrant accents makes the space appealing, fresh and energetic,” says Phookun.
