Healing Through Air, LIGHT, COLOURS & NATURE

Standing tall, flaunting uninhibited strength underneath a cloak of simplicity, this healthcare facility is a result of a brief full of questions for its existence. While questions on physical identity, architectural presence & personality in context with locality routed the initial germs of the façade development, patients care vs attendants’ care, progressive zoning, backend movement vs forefront movement & a confident desire to heal through air, light, colours & nature guided Interior design development.

Top Bathroom Trends 2019-20

During the medieval period, bathrooms used to be the opulent spaces wherein kings and queens used to indulge in the luxury of comforting as well as enhancing the beauty of their bodies. During a visit to any fort or palace, guides don’t forget to give people an exciting tour of the Kings’ bath often known as ‘Hamaam’, that could make any commoner envy. For a long period of time, bathrooms were not given their due credit as they were tucked behind the prying eyes making them something of a dirty place. However, the notion is now broken and bath spaces are getting rediscovered as well designed places wherein one could find all modern gadgets to soothe the body as well as the soul.
