Hospitals
The coming decade will be one of the unprecedented challenges for the global healthcare industry. We design for bigger hospitals and smaller clinics, ranging on what is the need and what calls to our attention. Smart Hospitals are more capable of monitoring patient health and overseeing patient care on a larger scale. Our primary goal is to help the healthcare workers to function more and better in the given space. Not only is their efficiency enhanced through the proposed systems but also can be monitored and managed remotely if need be. The rooms can be dynamically designed to put it to use for multiple activities. Secondly we aim to design at bringing the patients at ease and comfort so they recover better and sustain in a closed and continuous monitored environment. We also work on fast building hospitals which are prefab and modular and can be assembled and dismantled easily!
Smart Beds!
New smart beds monitor up to 35 data points, including a patient’s weight, body temperature, and heartbeat; and include blood, oxygen, and pressure sensors. The beds will electronically update a patient’s medical record with all data, including how many times the patient left their bed and how often they’ve been turned in bed. Some smart beds even include verbal alerts that can be triggered, like, “please don’t get up,” and USB ports for patients to charge the mobile devices. A smart bed connects to the other smart devices, and they typically can tell you about how you sleep. We already know that the amount and quality of sleep you get has a huge impact on your health. A capable smart mattress will accurately tell you if you're getting the rest you need. They do this by monitoring motion to calculate the total time you spend in bed, when you fall asleep, and how often you toss and turn. Climate control is another compelling ability smart mattresses offer. Many come with onboard heating systems to keep you warm and toasty on cold nights.
Hassle free lockers!
Do you see your employees getting calls during significant conferences and leaving their workstations frequently to gather/return their online shopping deliveries? Are corporate and personal packages accumulating in your reception area? Do you see your workers constantly checking their phones to monitor their online deliveries? With the growth of e-commerce, it became more frequent for people to order deliveries to their offices (as they’re not home during normal delivery hours). Smart Lockers allow users to receive an immediate notification of a parcel delivery at the company. Employees can access information immediately, physically or digitally, regardless of where the parcel is. Giving or removing access to Smart Lockers is simple and can be done without much effort. This solves the issue of having to manage keys/change keys when new people join the company, or others leave. A new use-case we’ve been also witnessing lately is the use of a smart locker for workers to exchange items and documents without having to meet in-person.
Transfer objects through air!
Ever wondered how to transport items through a really huge building? We have a mind blowing solution to that. How about letting them fly through the air and let it reach its destination. We are not joking. These pneumatic systems can transport items just like fluids flow through pipelines. We have usually designed it for more than 200 bedded hospital which need speed, safety and shock-free transportation. Blood samples, or similar can be transported gently at a reduced speed if need be. This system increases efficiency by saving money and time and hence increasing productivity of the employees. Retail stores, electronic stores, toll stations, banks, petrol stations, jewellers, casinos – there are many public places where large amounts of cash are handled. This design and system is the optimised solution for cash transportation to avoid associated risks for your employees and to prevent cash loss.
Dumbwaiters!
Very apt to it’s name these mechanical or electrical waiters are dumb yet very efficient. With the growth in construction spreading vertically, the biggest issue is the transportation between different floors. Specially for shared services and daily chores. These dumbwaiters are cleverly designed in your plans and placed wherever necessary for transfer of goods. Highly efficient in restaurants and hotels where there is a continuous movement of food, laundry and goods between multiple floors. Keeps the food warm and reaches at the blink of an eye. Ideal for transportation of beverages and snacks in public buildings or offices. When used in large bungalows it creates a smooth control in the management and increases overall efficiency.
Most efficient air conditioning!
Until very recently we as architects fully relied on AirCon consultants for pitching and designing the perfect air conditioning layout for our projects. Only to realise very soon that the efficiency of the plant largely depends on the area of the room, the orientation, position, materials used and so much more. We are headed towards a performance-based building. HVAC systems and individual units need to be planned and integrated with the architecture and design of the building during the initial phase. This will ensure proper planning of the aesthetics as well as cooling functionality. Integrating HVAC and mechanical system into the architecture design is one of the challenges faced by architects. This is especially so when the building is working towards a performance-based design which include energy performance level. Hence, we assist in bridging the gap and make sure neither the efficiency of the unit nor the architectural design is sacrificed.
Energy producing facade design!
Architecture should not only focus on designing buildings, but also focus on combining sustainable energy and habitability, in order to create a sustainable way of living. Energy efficiency in buildings is becoming pivotal in developing sustainability and reducing civilisation's carbon footprint. From better insulation to facades that generate solar power, many modern buildings are becoming greener than ever. This involves the use of solar panels used cleverly on the facade that can effectively transform a wall into a solar energy-generating structure. We aim to develop a new type of building facade that generates solar energy for heating and cooling while also to offer passive solar heating and fresh air for office buildings or public buildings. Similarly, in contrast of the bulky wind mills that are used universally to harvest wind energy, the surface area of the facade is engineered in a way that it traps the huge potential of wind to produce electricity.
