Client’s Vision

To create one of its kind Bone Marrow Transplant Facility in Mumbai. The management and Dr’s team at Fortis Mulund wanted to make this facility in a way that is patient centric. As BMT patients have a longer isolation periods and low immunity, maintaining sterile environment in the room was of utmost importance. Hence the client wanted us to design spaces that are sterile, easy to maintain and yet aesthetically appealing to patients as they would be isolated for long period of time.
