Project Overview
Located within the Brigade Meadows campus in Bengaluru, the St. John’s Medical College Hospital is designed as a contemporary healthcare facility that combines operational efficiency with a patient-centric environment. The architecture adopts a clean, timeless language, featuring textured plaster surface alternating with mcm cladded surfaces and expansive glazed entrances that create a welcoming identity and enhances visibility, accessibility, and intuitive wayfinding.
The building is planned to ensure efficient circulation, clear zoning, and a comfortable healing environment. Passive design strategies, including recessed windows, deep overhangs, abundant natural daylight, and landscaped surroundings, improve thermal comfort and reduce energy consumption. Durable, low-maintenance materials and high-performance glazing ensure longevity, creating a resilient healthcare facility that balances functionality, sustainability, and contemporary architectural expression.
