Despite the Hippocratic Oath ‘first, do no harm’, copious amount of patients suffer affliction because of compromising healthcare facilities including misdiagnosis, medical errors and hospital acquired infections. According to the World Health Organization, each year millions of patients pick up an infection while they’re in the hospital, and thousands die. On the flip side, India’s healthcare system has improved drastically in recent times and currently ranks 112 out of 190 countries, which reflects our increased awareness for healthcare architecture and implementation of technological inventions. Though many providers promise to deliver sky-high architecture designs for hospitals, only few architects like Kshititi Nagarkar (Principal Architect, Shree Designs) honour this vow. Based on the philosophy of ‘patient-centered care’, the firm designs aesthetic and affordable solutions that help the clients improve communal health. “The complete journey of patient is mapped and every touch point is fed as a design input which runs parallel to the requirements of all caregivers. The result is a cohesive facility which delivers a healing environment in line with our unique proposition - creating

healing environments,” adds Kshititi, who has over 15 years of experience in healthcare industry.

Never the less, the firm allocates individual resources to drop-ship personalized attention for each project while maintaining balance between functional requirements and aesthetic form.

The Healing Designs
Kshititi elucidates, “We have successfully created an ecosystem to provide end-to-end services, right from concept to completion”. Being a fairly new player, Shree Designs has perfectly explored healthcare architecture opportunities and created new paradigms for effective communication and collaboration to ease the changing complexities in the healthcare world. Confident that architecture is not only design but a continuing process from ideation to implementation, the firm has carved a niche by employing nonpareil methodical approach in its operational framework that helps in freezing the design without multiple iterations. This accentuates client satisfaction, project savings and time bound project completion along with the creation of positive references, an expertise that has

augmented Shree Designs’ growth scale to 20 percent in sub segments. The firm has created prime designs for eleventy single and multi specialty healthcare facilities for areas like Orthopaedics, Gynaecology, Eye Care, Dental, Paediatrics and many more.
