Hospital Architecture That Challenges the Status Quo | Medigence

Sustainable, Future Ready, Services & Technology Integrated Architecture.

“Why hire an architect who is still learning your business? We are a team of medical architects and healthcare consultants who have spent decades mastering it.”

Hospital architecture is substantially different and extremely complex, compared to commercial or residential buildings. Where usually commercial or residential building is a stacking of a typical floor space or grid, in a hospital every sq ft space is different and has to be meticulously planned.

We are trying to disrupt the idea of hospital architecture and the experience it provides, by following our philosophy of “Hospitals should not look, feel, sound, and smell like a hospital”.

Rather than running blindly behind technology, automation, & artificial intelligence, we envision to use these in creating a more care centric environment, by providing more human touch to the patients & their relatives. Checkout ouf H+ Framework we use for hospital design.

How we help clients

Hospital Campus Master Planning

When we talk about hospital campus master planning, we’re really talking about shaping the entire future of the site. It’s not just drawing boxes on a map — it’s deciding how the hospital will breathe, grow, and function for the next 20–30 years.It means understanding where the heart of the hospital should sit, how the support buildings connect without chaos, where people should park without stress, and how green spaces can soften the experience.In short, it’s the art of placing every element in the right place today, while making sure the campus still has the freedom to expand tomorrow.

Hospital Building Orientation & Massing

Hospital orientation and massing is where the building truly begins to take shape. It’s about positioning it in a way that solves the big things upfront — emergency access that’s simple and unmistakable, vehicle movement that feels effortless, parking that doesn’t frustrate people, and a patient flow that just makes sense when you walk through it. At the same time, we make sure the building still captures the one element no technology can replace: generous, healing natural light in every patient room.

Hospital Facade As An Environment Filter

We position and shape the building deliberately to bring in as much natural daylight as possible, especially into patient rooms. It’s not just an architectural choice — sunlight has been shown to boost recovery, improve mood, and reduce the risk of depression. So for us, good daylight isn’t optional; it’s part of healing..

Hospital Ventilation Architecture

We also create features like central atriums and courtyards that become the “lungs” of the hospital. These spaces pull in fresh air, encourage natural ventilation, and introduce greenery right into the heart of the building — giving patients, families, and staff a much-needed place to pause and breathe.

Hospital Circulation Architecture

The movement of people and supplies is one of the biggest realities we solve in a hospital. A visitor’s path should feel simple and stress-free the moment they enter. A patient’s journey has to protect their safety and dignity at every step. And a surgeon’s movement through the building must be seamless and highly efficient — because their time and focus are precious.

Podium & Tower Forms

The podium-and-tower model is a classic hospital form, placing the wide, tech-heavy departments like the ER and operating theatres in the broad “podium” base, while stacking the quiet, repetitive patient rooms in a slim “tower” above to maximize natural light.

Hospital Utility Deck Architecture

This allows technicians to maintain and upgrade the building’s “guts” (like medical gas, HEPA filters, and data lines) without ever entering the sterile patient-care area below. This is the key to a 100% resilient, future-proof hospital.

Hospital Technical Enclosure’s Design

Modern healthcare runs on technology, and the architecture must support it flawlessly. We design the “hard” spaces that are the technical heart of the hospital.

Hospital Services Building Architecture

A hospital’s services building is its hardworking “engine room,” a purpose-built, often industrial-style structure designed to safely house all the heavy-duty, non-patient support systems

Hospital Ancillary Buildings Architecture.

Ancillary architecture is all about the “people” side of the campus—designing the comfortable doctor and staff quarters, practical dorms for patient families, and the central canteen where everyone can gather, all while keeping these living spaces comfortably separate from the main hospital’s clinical areas.

Examples of work:

Our work speaks for itself. Over the years, our hospital architecture portfolio consists of more than 2 crore square feet of healthcare infrastructure — not on paper, but in real buildings that are either under construction, or operational, serving communities, and healing patients every single day.

Our portfolio stretches across the full spectrum of healthcare architecture, from 25-acre medicity campuses to high-performance boutique hospitals that redefine what a modern care environment can be.

For large, complex campus master planning, one of our landmark projects is the 1200-bed Medical Campus at Kalol — a 25-lakh sq ft micro-city built from the ground up. It brings together a 750-bed teaching hospital, a medical college, and every layer of support needed to run a future-ready healthcare ecosystem. Every movement, every connection, every expansion line was imagined to work effortlessly for decades.

On the high-tech side of healthcare design, we’ve delivered specialized projects like the BK Cancer Center in Palanpur. Here, we balance the most demanding technical environments — radiation bunkers, precision shielding, oncology workflows — with a calm, humane architectural experience that helps patients feel safe, not overwhelmed.

For human-centred healing environments, hospitals like Global Hospital (Junagadh) and J R Hospital (Morbi) are where we pushed the boundaries. Through thoughtful use of form, light, and intuitive flow, we proved that high-efficiency hospitals can still be warm, uplifting, and deeply comforting spaces.

And beyond the hospitals themselves, our work covers everything that completes a healthcare campus — women’s hospitals, staff housing, canteens, rehabilitation areas, and Ayurveda centres. These supporting spaces ensure that the “people side” of medicine is always built into the architecture.

If you’d like a deeper look, our full portfolio shows how each project reflects our philosophy: careful planning, strong fundamentals, and architecture that genuinely serves people.
