USP OF THE PROJECT
“ A lack of transparency results in distrust and a deep sense of insecurity.” Dalai Lama. ...
A space which was previously devoid of openness, closed doors and claustrophobic was given a new identity based on TRANSPARENCY.
We worked around this whole idea of opening up the CORE and make it centralized so that it can be viewed by the onlooker.
We tried to build TRUST of people who are already under lots of stress attached with diagnosis. Trust is mostly an instant reaction to what you see with your eyes…this made the whole concept of CORE becoming transparent.
SEPARATION of sterile and non-sterile areas was given utmost priority to avoid contamination which is very important in DIAGNOSTIC laboratory.
A curvilinear wall, derived from the geometry of DNA and Helix slices through the public and sterile areas and becomes very important feature in imparting dynamism to the space with its FORM and COLOUR This wall is very important part of design expressing the laboratory’s philosophy and creating a FLUID and DYNAMIC space around it.
CLIENT’S BRIEF:
The client came with full faith in us for design as we had designed for him earlier. He wanted his existing facility to become more user friendly, hygienic, private and should make a statement. He had many other expansive goals in terms of testing machines and paraphernalia attached with it. The existing facility was depressing in its appeal and it was hampering his client growth. He wanted a space which was lively and exuded warmth.
CONCEPT :
The only starting point we had was the grid of 6 columns. It helped us in generating the much required segregation of movement and hierarchy of spaces in terms of hygiene.
As it was evident in the existing lab, the main testing machines i.e. Pathological microbiological were totally ignored and dumped in corner. The segregation was not at all done between sterile and non sterile areas.
A diagnosis usually makes or break a person’s mental health. The diagnostic LABORATORY which we designed has to invoke TRUST in patients.
So we made this whole central CORE as testing area and made it visible from every corner.
The idea was to make the patient see how testing is done in front of them and nothing is hidden behind closed door, thus invoking trust.
We then started working on a concept which becomes an anchor and relates the form to the typology of lab.
We derived a curve which started from studying the form and RED colour of BLOOD droplet. Which was spliced vertically to get 2 segments of ARC.
On further studying it we thought about the DNA structure and the helix it forms.
This became our main concept and we put that segmented curved to divide the sterile and non sterile areas. This also imparted a very fluid geometry and added dynamism to the movement spine.
Art is an important aspect in space making. HEALTHCARE designs usually neglect this part. We used graphical renditions of elements in pathology as ART and COLOUR. It made the whole space neutral of stigma attached with Diagnostic laboratories.
Originality / Innovation / Creativity
Creating a fluid , Dynamic space and weaving it in unison was a big challenge for us.
The art form of the arc was integrated to look like one sculpturesque wall rather than a series of fragmented elements.
The innovative idea of taking the Blood Drop and then going to the core of it to derive the DNA strand was Unique and resulted in breaking the stereotypical mould of a lifeless medical Laboratory.
Functionality / efficiency & adherence to client's brief
As this was remodeling of an existing laboratory, one big challenge was extreme hygienic functionality and segregation.The new sequence we developed was very a precise segregation.
REGISTRATION—SAMPLE COLLECTION—SEPARATION—
TESTING—ANALYSING—REPORTING—BILLING.
Another challenge was to invoke trust. We achieved it by placing the whole Testing block right in the centre for Transparency.
We introduced elements of pathology as ART and a colour palette of Red, white, grey and wood which helped in breaking the typical whites of healthcare design.
Green Practices
A lot of thinking went into placement of working area and the Core. All the testing and analytical areas were placed near the Glazing to extract maximum daylight.
Besides the usual measures of using VRV for cooling, we kept the entrance of the Testing Core away from the public movement which resulted in saving on the expenses of High density Hepa Filters.
We used only water and oil based paints. No natural wood was used and we recycled all the Plywood and stone slabs salvaged from demolition of Existing Laboratory.
Frames made of aluminium hollow pipes were used as supporting skeleton instead of wood in making of the partitions .
Detailing / Use of materials
Primarily we used recycled plywood from the previous lab. Natural stone slabs were used in erecting partitions of wet areas to avoid the wastage.
The battened look was achieved by painting hollow aluminium pipes and pasting them on laminated surface. It saved a lot of solid wood and we got the desired results.
We avoided using readymade handles and almost tried to use handle less system in furniture making. Even for the main door, a 6”x6” niche chamfered at edges formed the handle slot.
Sensorial & spatial experiences
The DNA strands wall starts from the reception and bisects the sterile core, creating and dispersing Art on its way.
The resultant form gives rise to a distinct segregation and yet it connects to the whole laboratory with its expanse.
The spatial experience is a rich mix of Vibrant colours of the wall and very subtle Nordic pallet.
