Medi-City is a holistic health center/ hospital in Gurgaon that opened earlier this year. Medi-City is a 1600-bed hospital, the largest in all of Asia, and a center for holistic medicine. This is a project that is very close to our heart. The Trehan family, who formulated the vision and encouraged a detail-oriented execution of the project, were wonderful people to work with. We wanted to create an uplifting and happy space far removed from how we generally see hospitals. It was a tremendous opportunity to create a difference, especially amongst people who were unwell and recuperating. Light and lighting can be very powerful healers, and seeing the result was gratifying. The entrance lobby ceiling features recess-lit reveals cut in the shapes of elements of the DNA helix structure. A large, eye-catching installation titled “Tree of Life,” by renowned sculptor Mitch Cretin, figures prominently at the hospital entrance and is backlit.
