Description

Scope: Master Planning, Medical Planning, Architecture, Interior Design 

The expansion of the Asian Institute of Gastroenterology in Hyderabad marks a strategic step in the institution’s evolution as a national leader in specialty medicine. Moving beyond its existing 800-bed setup, the brief called for three additional towers—designed to accommodate 550+ new beds and a wider spectrum of tertiary care. From emergency and trauma to cardiology, renal sciences and oncology with a Proton unit as COE, the goal is to build an integrated, patient-centric medical ecosystem that would support both current demands and future growth.

The site—a densely located 8.5-acre campus within Hyderabad’s Mindspace tech corridor—posed both spatial and operational challenges. The need to connect with existing towers without disrupting ongoing hospital services required a phased planning strategy. Alongside, the design had to address high patient inflow, service logistics, emergency access, and zoning for varied clinical departments—all while embedding clarity, comfort, and resilience into the user journey.

Architecture Rooted in Context and Scale

The architectural response is shaped by the need to integrate, expand, and humanize. Towers C and D are linked to the existing buildings via bridge connectors, allowing seamless transition between old and new facilities. Each tower is organized around a central care spine—supporting modular floor plates, vertical stacking of programs, and distinct circulation for patients, staff, and services.

To combat the city’s hot-arid climate, the buildings employ recessed facades, shaded terraces, and passive ventilation pockets. Light wells, internal courts, and biophilic elements introduce relief into dense medical volumes. Material finishes are selected for hygiene, durability, and acoustic comfort, reinforcing a sense of calm across departments.

More than an expansion, the project reimagines hospital design as infrastructure for healing—where operational logic meets spatial empathy. Designed to scale, adapt, and endure, the campus brings together high-performance care, clinical clarity, and long-term institutional vision.
